The Intercom

300 baud modem, check. Compuserve, check. Forget that — bulletin board services!

Watched Wargames at the theater, check. Top Secret!, Raiders of the Lost Ark.

Teenager in the 80s, check.

Atari 2600, TRS-80 Model III, Commodore 64, Tron. Activision — for crying out loud!

Internet Relay Chat at the Tech library basement in 1987. Mac Plus at the Carpenter Hall computer lab the same year.

Wasted youth, check.

Good grief, I’d do it all over again.
