This is very familiar to me. I think I remember seeing this ad in a magizine my parents read back when this was printed or possibly even before.
I would have been 9 y/o when this pic/ad was originally printed

@Kaze: Awesomeness to the umpteenth degree, fortunately allot of people take care of that themselves on MCS.

Did anyone else notice that in this letter they have email trademarked? And I first had internet in 1996 with Compuserve on the Cyrix M2 Computer we’d gotten from some generic store, running windows 3.11.

Ahh, I remember the old days of compuserve chat. They let you pick whatever chat handle you wanted to use, even if someone with the same name was in the same channel, and they had no recourse to take.

So I’d log in, read, and see who was being a chump, change my name, then proclaim how big of a fag I am, then change my name back.

Adolescent hilarity ensued.

I don’t know whether to be proud or embarrassed that I was probably one of those 11 people. I knew how to make a beer stein symbol with keystrokes on my C-64 and everything.

@Smoothie: I remember when I was really into nostalgia.
