Prof, I remember when USCHO was in its infancy, and all it offered were raw scores in a crude text format.

That was a revelation at the time, and I no longer needed to see week-old scores from the College Hockey Digest newsletter published and mailed by a great old die-hard in Troy. (Still, I had to go to the public library to get internet-access, because almost nobody has a PC back then, let alone a smart phone, and the library imposed a 15-minute limit on the glacial dial-up feed, and possibly would ask you to make room for the next user before you could even connect to anything.)

These kids today don't know how good they got it. **** whipper-snappers!

We still had dialup when my daughter was a teenager (she's 41 now). She did not like it when I tied up the phone line on Friday and Saturday nights listening to Clarkson games.

I purchased a modem to plug into my computer and phone line because Norwich gave me a dial up number that I could use, and I remember the excitement of hearing the dial tone, the dialing, the bing bing, and the screech as the computer would log in. I also remember the disappointment when the line was busy. WWW was just a rumor and I was just learning how to use gopher.

And we used to have to wake up a half hour before we went to bed and lick the roads clean.

Now me and PSU, that’s another story... :-)

Probably Lerchie too but I do remember you getting awfully heated (rightfully so probably) when I made some stupid 11 year old comment about Potsdam being dirty or something along those lines.
