So did I! I figured it was due to too much sawdust because
I'm-a-currently-out-of-work-tech-writer-turned-handyman-in-a-rural-area.
First computer worked with: Gopod only knows, but it was with punch cards in
the 70's in college.
First remote communication via computer: communicating with Martin Marietta
computer, via telnet on a DEC-MNC-11 system.
First networked messaging: 1986: PROFS no idea what computer system it was,
my guess is that it was on a IBM-OS 390 or some previous iteration
First email sent 1993 using PINE through UCI's Antweb.
First Browser: MOSAIC
Favorite current nerdy communication: telnetting to The Well, communicating
via pico span, and still occasionally use PINE for Well email.
