(38,263 posts)Been here since under several identities.
I was in the lab when the second Berkeley Software Distribution ( 2BSD ) was installed. I was so excited by vi that I wrote a bad science fiction novel. I found a bug in Pascal. (I still have my silver Pascal User Manual and Report, 2nd edition...)
I also know who wrote some of the earlier slash posted on the internet because I was there when they wrote it. It amuses me when others claim it.
Then usenet grew large, although by today's internet standards it was microscopically small.
I wrote some astonishingly embarrassing things in my teens and early twenties which are probably still out there. (Did not expect that!) I don't go looking for it. But hell, I've written plenty of embarrassing things here on DU as well.
