While looking through an account I never use anymore, I noticed this picture:

http://members.limitless.org/~calico/desktop.jpg

It's my desktop from about ten years ago, maybe more. [livejournal.com profile] loupnoir, you can see the icon in the trey and the button on the taskbar for that dictionary program. (Red book with a D on it.)

[livejournal.com profile] tersa and [livejournal.com profile] juliansinger, check out the RL Garou people! The picture is from when I went to Boston to meet folks. I don't recall who they are now, but I do remember that we had a really fun time. :)

Yeah, I had to use AOL back then. I lived in the boondocks, and there weren't any ISPs in the area other than AOL. Plus, it was the first (at least in my area) to go to unlimited access instead of hourly, so even once other ISPs finally moved in, AOL was the best value.

It's funny to recall that all Internet access was expensive and hourly. I remember keeping a timer next to my desk so I wouldn't go over the 10 hours a week or however much we got. Some tiny little number.
