Shame the guy couldn’t be bothered to do a short interview with a writer from a well known tech magazine. Most small businesses CEOs would jump at the chance. Or at least they should.
I was flabbergasted that he sounded like such a prick. Why would he not approach this in good humor after so many years?
I’m a bit of a digital pack rat but I can’t imagine having kept everything since the early 90s.
I had emails back then from both home and work (and BBS rimemail and fido) all burned to CD’s for archival. Found them 10 years ago in storage, none were still readable. :(
Aww. That’s disappointing. cd-rw really don’t have the best shelf life unfortunately.
Yeah. I mean, I knew that was a possibility, I’d read that plenty of times… I’d think, oh, I need to transfer those someday. Someday. Aaaaand it’s gone. :(
This is amazing
In the mid 90s I set up a dedicated dial-up line to an ISP. I had arranged with the ISP to have a dedicated phone line of my own so they were cool. The phone company on the other hand was kind of pissed and tried to threaten me with penalties. I kind of understood why it was a problem for them in terms of provisioning, but… that’s what there was then.
I made sure that my dual bonded ISDN were 64k lines not those cheap 56k! 128k was living large back then!
Dude, I’d long been dual ISDN by then. If my connection to my ISP ever went down, it was a race to see which of us called the other first and they’d work to resolve it with me right then.
