- waterlesscloud 11y agoTeenager in the US at the same time. Yep, this is exactly what we did with our 8-bit machines and modems at the time. We were global even then. EDIT- LOL. I guess the HN downvoters have proof this isn't what we were doing back then???
- oldmanjay 11y agoI didn't vote, but my guess would be that this is a me-too comment, which the community discourages. If you wish to echo a parent comment, it's expected that you add a significant contribution.
- waterlesscloud 11y agoCool. I guess we're all better off for the downvotes then. Honestly, I'm outta here. Had enough of this. Changing my password to something I'll never remember. Rage on, kids.
