Well I remember most stuff most kids don’t remember. Does your avergage TikTok teenager remember actually having fun with a software that is not a game? I used to love messing around with ‘acquired’ versions of a lot of weird software. Kids these days gotta be super-weird to consider Blender a non-game software they’d like to mess with .Right?
Oh I’m just a poseur! As it is my understanding, Usenet was for ‘grownup people’ (like Larry Wall, check the interview with him I just posted!) and BBS was for ‘hacker scene kids’. I started using the internet in 2005 when I was 12 (I did use it sparingly before though) and back in 2005 the ‘web-ization of the internet’ was not as pronounced as it is now, but it was strong enough that I had issues understanding where the interned ends, and the web begins! But well, it’s in the name, is it not? :D
“back in my day” - 31 year old… lol

If you don’t mind sharing, how old were you when using BBS? I don’t think I’ve heard someone your age bring them up before.
