I had a "I've been doing this too long and am getting old" moment this week. I had to explain to a coworker what BBS's, CB Simulators, fidonet, etc were...
sigh... Common usage of those wasn't that long ago, was it?
[Greg tries to remember the last time he dialed into a standalone BBS]
Okay, I guess it has been a little while. 7-10 years? BBS's were hot in their day. But the usenet/web/ftp pushed them into obsolesce.
In 10 years from now are we going to look back on the web the same way? I wonder what's next? Time to get to work on it... :)
