How did you waste time before Forums became popular?

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!
We also used to free roam in Motocross Madness.
Mostly multiplayer gaming I guess!

I actually talked to my colleagues.

I got more done and read more books.

Lots of porn?

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.

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.

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!!!

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.
