[Shotimes] Old and Crusty

Have you taken a count of how many of us are still around?  Not saying
it's your job or anything, but if you did, it would be an interesting bit
of trivia.

There's a thread on techsho about using web interface versus e-mail.  I
remember when the prodigy bulletin boards first offered a DOS e-mail
client that allowed download and reply capability, and IIRC at some point
they started a tiered service offering where they charged for number of
e-mail sent.  The e-mail was an important capability back in the day when
you used to get hit with connect time charges.  The yung 'uns now take the
internet for granted I'm sure and now it's as ubiquitous as drinking
water.  And for even more trivia, Prodigy Classic used to run on a 3090
(some of you will know what this is) that I worked on in a past life.
