ReLo'd to BA from SD

in late 2006, relocated my angst, business, and social life to NoCal from SoCal ... just a 40-something chick in the 'burbs of the SF bay area who randomly posts about random topics ... the occasional quirky stories of dating (or not) at 40-ish, work-week cubeopolis frivolity, rambling musings on nostalgika, and the occasional introspective moments in life.(thanks for visiting! >p, b)

1996? Living in CA it took you until 1996 to use the internet? That is a lie. Don't lie to your blog-reading public shirlsd. In not-so-tech-saavy NY, we had internet in 1990 (OK, it was mostly text and on VT-100 terminals). What were you doing from 1990 to 1996, sending faxes?

1996 ... it is true. i started my biz in 1994 when, of course, i had e-mail. and of course i had **access** to the internet. however (!), i really didn't start **using** the internet until ~ 1996. i faxed. i soooo totally faxed. i know this because in 1996, i dated a grad student who could not shut-up about the internet, and that is when it all began - my **using** the internet. so ... i have updated my response. thank you for ... calling me a liar?

Perhaps an addition to the cube-lexicon:

cube-fax: The act of sharing written information in 1995.
