- grammr 16y agoI'd like to say that it still wasn't all that prophetic back then, but I was only a wee lad and don't seem remember much of the early 80's...
- nikster 16y agoI'd argue that saying something today that will be common sense 25 years in the future is the very definition of prophetic. None of this was common sense back then, that's for sure. I got my first email account in 1995.
