Yes, I remember Archie and Veronica, and Gopher. And I remember how hard it was to use hytelnet to browse that kind of Internet. And I needed to connect with Telnet to another remote server to be able to have access to hytelnet for browsing. And I remembered that I needed to create a Pascal program for cracking Novel Netware accounts for being able to have access to internet from that account by a Unix server. That for the only reason that I was not a student of iT Faculty, and for the students of Economics Science, it was no access at all to that kind of Internet of those days. That's why I like Bill Gates. He gave access to computer for all the people, not only for the specialists. Now I don't like him because he want to control and monitor all the world. ... and like most of people, even though they don't like to admit, I don't like Bill Gates because he is very reach and wants more money from poor people.

It's not just this list; it seems that the new breed of IT people aren't like us oldschool bunch. I remember the net before the world wide web; when archie was the search tool of choice. I don't want to go back to those days; but it is interesting to reflect on. Regards, Kerry.
