@sarajw @danhon Magic. It felt like magic. Much the same as the first time I dialed up to the Internet and was able to talk to other people over text platforms, or when I wrote my first ppp.conf file, or first discovered mp3 and WinAmp … it all felt like magic.

@darkuncle magic is right!

I think at some point I logged into a chat via telnet and saw the other person's characters as they were typed, and typos fixed, and deleted and rephrased - that was a little bit of awe for me. Like here's a real human, thousands of miles away, typing stuff.

@sarajw yeah it’s still amazing when I stop and consider it; I kind of resent how commonplace and trivial it’s all become in the last 25 years
