:skep: Assuming none of us ever worked at our full potential, even before forums, what were some of your time wasters?

A few of us used to death match in Duke Nukem! :chainsaw::explode:
We also used to free roam in Motocross Madness.
Mostly multiplayer gaming I guess!

Ive been talking with others online like this since AOL chatrooms in '95. I was 12 so I guess before that I was outside playing sports with friends. :cheers:

Al Gore invented the internet to distract people from industry thereby reducing the energy needs and subsequent pollution that follows.

It's all part of a plan. :winky:

I was in HS and college, so I guess that meant sports and girls... Damn I wish I was like 17 again!

I read LowRider and Truckin' magazine and sat on Bulletin Board Systems.

I remember trying to download a lousy 1MB game from the BBS's. It took like 45 minutes to an hour at 1200 baud, and my F'n sister always picked up the phone!!! :kick:

:lol: Yeah those were the days. I actually ran one out of parents house for a couple hours a night during the summer break. I had it running on an amped overclocked 386 with 4mb of RAM and a 14.4 modem.
