yep. rec.aviation existed and was split into the current groups prior to

I don't remember the exact year.

Hey -- welcome back, Bob!

How're you feeling?

slowly recovering. Nice to be home, but the folks at St Luke's
were really wonderful.


(And the check arrived -- made out to MARY!?? -- quite
promptly, thanks... :-)

Well, I was talking to Mary about it. Was it supposed to be
made out to someone else?

Why, me, of course...

Ah, well, if she spends it, it's less I have to fork out later -- so it's
all good...!

We reject Gilmore’s right to travel argument because the Constitution does
not guarantee the right to travel by any particular form of transportation.

Um, hmmm. Just dawned on me that perhaps they didn't exist? Hey, folks,
was Usenet here (as we know it now) in '94? I jumped in around '98-ish.
Been here since late 80's.

Mom? Is this you? haven't I told you one-zero thousand times to stay off
the net?

Compuserve! Now *there* is a blast from the past.

Remember "Prodigy"? Owned by Sears, Roebuck, of all people! That was my
first venture into the on-line world...

IIRC, there was another competitor of Prodigy and CompuServe around then but
can't think of its name. It used Gopher searches. Also, BBS's were big back
then and some of them would sync their messages together nightly using Fido
net. Most would run on 1,200 bps, some were only 300 but the 'good' ones
supported 2,400. Most could only have one person dial in at a time.

- I miss my 300bps dial-up modem. (yeah, right...)

It must have been CompuServe that I had access to way back then. I wonder if
my account there still works. ;-)

What was this post originally about??? Oh yeah, someone asking something
about a PPL. If you have the desire, money and time then go for it.

My first computer and modem cost me about $1,800. It had no
hard drive, a 720 KB floppy and 1.2 MB of RAM and a 4.7 MHz
16 bit processor. The modem was a WorldPort external on the
serial port at 2400 bps but it did have compression and
could get 4800 bits. It was DOS only but WORKS 2.0 ran on
it.

That was a big time PC, first here was a TI-99 which I still have. Not even
a floppy but a cassette tape.

irresistibly sexy!"

Nope.

But I *do* find one sexier than the others...
