Non Sequitur by Wiley Miller for March 27, 2016

Although I wasn’t, I was aware of internet prior to aol. ;)Prodigy anyone?

When the Internet “went public”? I suppose that means when HTML made it easy for non-nerds to use it.

Ah, I remember the old days, when one could have an open FTP server or mail relay, and all you needed to prevent misuse was a request that people not do that. A reasonable level of courtesy was standard, too, except when in “flame” mode, and inside that, everyone knew insults weren’t meant seriously.

Wish I had the yard to go C-band satellite… though perhaps, maybe…hmmm been a while since I’ve given that a thought. Perhaps I need to do some new research on that thought

Yes it does, Wiley.

I remember the days of suborbital cyberspace – computer bulletin boards run by teens and twentysomethings on Amigas, Apple II’s, and Commodore 64’s.

CompuServe on TRS-80 Model 100 32K

Water fluoridation

Inadequate public education and tv combined to begin that process long before the internet developed. All the internet does is allow that lack of education, discretion, and manners to become more obvious.

I love the logo on the back of the computer.

I’m reading this cartoon on the internet. So I guess the cartoonist is a dealer.

Thanks so much for the lessons on the early days of computers. That’s why I come to the comics pages. Finally, not in vain. ;-)

keaIt is the only reason schools have a music program – spectator sports traditionally need a band.
