3. I had AOL accounts for both work and play and could access them from Geoworks.

The MSDOS version of AOL was based on Geoworks.

I have emulations of my favorite old computers just one or two clicks away on my Linux Desktop, going back to the late 'seventies. Blame it on my OCD or something.

My favorite computer of all time was my 8 bit Atari XL which I'd upgraded with additional memory. I also modified the floppy disk drive for higher speeds. The XL still works. Alas the disk drive does not. But it all lives on in emulation.

I was still an occasional troublemaker on AOL when I first signed up at Democratic Underground February 16, 2002.

I've been a resident of the internet since the late 'seventies. I remember, with horror, The Eternal September.
