One weird side effect of these memes is that they're making me realize that people on LJ whom I think of as "about my age" are in many cases actually quite a bit older than I'd thought... Like, you're one of the "my age" people, but apparently actually 8 years older than me :)

Alta Vista, huh? I remember Alta Vista! It was my first window onto the 'net when I was first starting college :)
