#deskmate - looked better than #windows - it had colors!

  *It's perfectly Safe, Mom, we met online first! - Ken, 1990*

  And there's #pclink - an online service you've never heard of.
  It became #AmericaOnline or #AOL 1993: The #year the #Internet
  went public.

  Thanks to these guys.

  Without them... well, the Internet would most likely still be
  only something that kids that went to #college ever got to use,
  which is what it was before that.

  Ran up so many bills. I called friends from around the world
  that I met in #chatrooms on there and we'd talk for hours and
  hours about... nothing.

  Got on a few #greyhound buses too. My poor mom. ''You don't know
  these people!'' - ''But Mom, we met online! It's safe!''

  And it always worked out, so I can't complain.
