    Nah, it was an application on family computer. You know, the computer in the corner of the dining room where your parents and baby brother could read over your shoulder. (I had my own computer in my room, but it didn’t even have a network card or modem.)

        Ah, you’re only like 5 years younger than me. I work in a college library and the young adults keep making me feel my millenial age, so maybe I over-explained.

        Were you on dial-up, too? That dialtone just announced to everyone you were getting online, no way to hide.
