The last topic on that lord of the rings spoof, crap speak, made me feel old.
It's the new language of the internet? What about the old language? And who consulted us old timers?
I remember the days long before the internet was even an idea. The Vic-20, or the TRS-80. Back then, 3.5KB or RAM was more than anybody would ever need, and a 8" floppy drive or a cassette drive was a luxury. Hard drives that stored a whopping 5MB were only needed by big corporate mainframes. You want to print something, well then you'd better wait the 10mins it took your Dot Matrix printer to finish a page. How about a video card? A what?
And now I wake up and find that there is a whole new language on the internet.
Today, I feel old. Tomorrow, I'll feel older.
But at least I still know how to do long division on paper.
