I remember using a computer in school first before I remember anything about the internet. I took a programing course and everyone was trying to learn computer languages like fortran, although then it was FORTRAN. It was the popular thing to take at the time. There was a mainframe computer. And there were IBMs and Macs with word processing programs; they were like giant typewriters. Then I remember personal computers becoming somewhat affordable and my roommate had one with dial up AOL. Napster was big fun then. There were mailing lists for butches and femmes and I had fun with those for awhile and of course there was b-f.com in the late 90s. Damn I am old. And still technically challenged.
