How many of these folks do YOU remember? Bloody hell! That sure brings back memories. There's even a 'third' Ric, who I don't recognise though. Those were the days though! Does anybody still use IRC? Does it even still exist>? Used to be a fun and useful thing really, one of the better things t'internet offered. Especially in the early days, before the "Great Unwashed" were let loose. Back in the day, there used to be some really good Amiga and NeXT channels about, as well as Solaris ones from which I picked up a hell of a lot of first class help with setting up networking and t'internet on that OS in the beginning. A little later it became very important in the very earliest days of NextSTART and then Winstep. |

Oh my gosh! lol...what a trip! I'm really happy with DesertDwarf as my identity nowadays, but I often wonder how many connections I've lost because I don't use Lighty anymore. *Sigh* Thanks for sharing! This was awesome and really brought a smile to my face. |

I see I was Earl in those days - a nickname I got on account of my addiction to Earl Grey tea. So we met before then Ric! |
