Well, that's pretty true of anything, right? > The not-too-smart jerks couldn't get on line. > Then along came AOL.... What a mess that was. Although there were other services offering Internet access, none had the marketing power that AOL had. Suddenly you had a flood of online noobs causing (unintended) havoc. I remember thinking that it would be a good idea to have people take some kind of test, something like Hams have to do, to grant access to the Net. Nothing difficult, just the basic questions showing they had at least a working knowledge of how things worked. If they'd done that, I think we'd have a better class of users today. --- SBBSecho 3.37-Linux * Origin: End Of The Line BBS - endofthelinebbs.com (1:124/5016) ----------------------------------------------------------- [Voltar]
