Hello!

I just finished rereading the first Chronicles again after many years and am happy to find a group to discuss it with. There was no internet the first time!

I'll do my best to not stink the place up. :biggrin:

I wonder if the Gators and Ohio State will play for a national championship anytime again soon... ;)

Possible, but the outcome would likely be the same. ;)

I, and my beard, thank you for the welcome!

Yeah, at risk of showing my (considerable) age, there was no internet the first time I read them either.... although I do remember BBS's and PODS and such... lol

Sorry, danlo. As a n00b of the year nominee, I have to admit to not knowing all the history. To me, Menolly is the Watch's unofficial Greeter-in-Chief, but thank you for the longer-term perspective.

Predating the internet? Most of us here do, really.
Predating the personal computer? Now that's something.
:biggrin:

(I don't go that far back, but I can recall the days when the Commodore 64 was an exotic machine.)

*pretty sure I predate the personal computer*

danlo's correct SD. I stole the greeting from someone, pretty sure it was Duchess.
But I did change it slightly, making it my own by changing the second welcome to Well Come...

OK, I will go there.

My first computer (not possessed by me, used by me) had punched cards for memory. Gates, Woz and Jobs were still in school...as was I.
