[THIN] Re: Doug Brown thinks Citrix is the "Madonna" ofVirtualization

Yeah my computer that I ran my bbs on had a whopping 80 meg hard disk! I downloaded everything from everywhere and mirrored it! I had 2 lines.  I do agree that gaming is now forcing the hardware to be more powerful but it wasn't always that way. I guess we are both correct.  And Greg I think that one of the first few emails was the canonical list of dumb blonde jokes.  How many hundreds of times did you get that one?

yes, you are correct..   I was around and I remember all that...  I had a compuserv account and I ran a BBS off a 1200 baud modem too.  Funny how slow that is today, you know...

 

and I agree there was a lot of p0rn on this sites back then but I just don't agree that is why people use them.  Yes, there are a lot of people that are interested in that back then but I think most people that knew about and have computers and logged in to those sites were computer guys and the other was just a perk.. (LOL)...   I mean, it was very expensive in those days... right?  go to the store and buy a mag vs. buying a 5k pc...
