"Why Great Husbands Are Being Abandoned"

[Erich Bloodaxe BSN]

30. It was back in the day...

I was on the internet right from the start, so I as was making friends online in the late 80s/early 90s, back when the height of 'multiplayer gaming' was text-based games that could only handle a couple dozen players at a time. Most of us were college kids at that point, since 'the internet' was largely limited to colleges. We didn't even have 'web pages' or 'web sites'. Just bulletin boards or ftp or telnet logins. So pretty much anybody you met was a college student, a professor, a darpa government type, or a hacker.

Nowadays, I'm more interested in sticking together for economic reasons than sweaty ones. Even platonically, we've got two sets of parents who help us out financially, and better chances that at least one of us will be employed, even if not both...
