I enjoyed the article about the DEC spam of 1978.

I'm turning 40 in 3 weeks! I thought I predated the internet by 10 or 12 years. Now I don't feel so bad! I do predate the widespread use of the internet by a LONG ways. For all practical purposes, the internet didn't exist when I was a kid.

It's still the Wild West. Which is actually a good thing.
