1 year agoThe thing I remember is the thrill of realizing how.much.stuff. was out there (even though by current standards it was tiny). There was a repository hosted by WUSTL.EDU that had a ton of software source code, binaries and other stuff; you could submit requests to it by e-mail and back would come your files uuencoded, split across multiple e-mail messages. You had to cobble the pieces back together before you could decode it.
Fraud in China. Huh.
