heh yeah

I had a pretty weird arc. I got to experience internet really early (‘93~94), and it took until ‘99+ for me to have my first “regular” access (was 56k on airtime-equiv landline). it took until ‘06 before I finally had a reliable recurrent connection

I remember seeing mentions (and downloads for) eggdrops years before I had any idea of what they were for/could do

(and here I am building ISPs and shit….)
