It was fun, indeed. People knew so little about the implications and possibilities of connecting two systems, that even if you didn’t hack anything worthwhile, it was easy to feel like a genius simply by war-dialing into another local nerd’s own Commodore 64.
Total land area, maybe?
To be honest… that doesn’t sound like a heavy lift at all.
States get smaller in alphabetical order. Alabama is huge, while West Virginia is tiny.
Doctor Who from Eccleston on. We missed much of it (including all of the Capaldi and Whitaker years) so it’s still new to us, and we’re catching up just in time for the new guy. I used to roll my eyes at folks who insisted Who was worth watching, but I was clearly wrong: It’s such a fun (and sometimes devastating) show. Loving it.
His omnipotent and all-powerful god sure makes a lot of mistakes. Glad mine never does.
Um… Isn’t that Steve Carell from Evan Almighty?
Most folks never bother to delete their accounts, and it’s now one of the older social networks. It was also popular at one time among GenX, who got their Boomer parents to sign up so they could keep contact with their grandkids remotely.

That first picture looks like the cover of a 1980s computer magazine, but I just can’t figure out which one.
I don’t want to know how the thumbs are at the top.
Ha ha. Yeah… funny. … gulp.
Kindness isn’t patronizing. Just offer to help because you care for Stevie and your neighbor. No need to make it a debt (or worse, make her “work it off”), which would redefine your relationship as employer/employee. Just friends doing what friends do.
Nice. Unless something’s changed recently, you shouldn’t be disappointed. Enjoy!
I use my original almost every day (actually, not quite the original; I lost my first one after 15 years in a 2013 car accident, and replaced it with the same 1998 model from an eBay sale. My wife has a newer Wave model and loves it. To be honest, though, I haven’t kept up with the latest versions, but I’ve never met anyone who regretted buying one.
I believe my 1998 Kelty backpack, Leatherman PST II, 1990 Volvo 240 Wagon and Mohawk Royalex canoe will outlast us all.
Most liquors, but gin and tequila in particular.
And now I’m reading a computer’s version of a story describing how a computer wrote a story that should have been discarded.
