When this article was written, the writer made sure to cite the "micro-chip" age and how this type of activity might be strange to today's students. If he only knew what would come about in the years hence. Flash forward thirty-one years and this kind of stuff could seem positively prehistoric to today's kids. Still, I like the idea of showcasing old-time skills to today's youth. It might even inspire someone to follow up and learn something new. And who knows? In my retired future, I might be able to teach students about the old internet arts of using Gopher, Archie, and Usenet. (Don't worry...only true nerds remember these!)
Yikes! A better credit card. Only 14.9% interest and lower fees! Would have been nice to have had some spare money back then.
