okok, so I'm new here, but now not in other places.
back in the mid 70's I had fun on the old PLATO system, the early pre-cursor to the internet, connected via phone lines to Champagne-Urbana Illinois campus, and it had everything like today, games news chat email and oh yes student learning courses for college.
Obviously by todays standards lowtech, but then it was the future today. So when the internet finally hit I was already a veteran.

nickname comes from Abbott and Costello's Whos On First Routine I and a friend did in my high school talent show, we brought down the house with it, from the movie Naughty Nineties, Sebastion Dinwitty for Costello, Dexture Broadhurst for Bud Abbott. It was fun doing the bit, and I have it on tape recorded, sometime I'll get it onto youtube.

see ya in the forums.
