Random Desk Stuff
Another interesting thing hanging around was a picture of me in my dorm room at Miami University, circa 1992, peering at an AT Class (80286) computer. Interesting to see the tape deck, big box of floppies, and dot matrix printer. I was probably on the Internet (pre-World Wide Web) via a 2400 baud connection to a VAX. It was all USENET and MOOs back then. After years of my mother urging me to, I finally replaced that gray coat last winter.

That photo takes me back as well. I was in my second year at college and work in 1992, I left school in 1991. I remember the good ol days, with MS Dos, and using Wordstar! and the dot matrix printers and the noise they made! I didn`t start usng the net until the late 90s, however! We are always sooo behind here in the UK! ;)
Liking the bike wheel there in the pic as well. Excellent place to keep it, right where you can see it! :)
