i'm taling about the Web 0.5 set... we were using telnet message boards before the internet had been invented... telnet was great for instant messaging also, since cell phones hadn't been invented either.... "which computer lab are you at? i'll meet you over there - we should go out later."
i mean, what does Rob I. do for money? helpdesk for a law firm. everyone i know who's not in school or an architect does that... "oh, i fix the computers and scanners at the Kinko's" ... "oh, i do IT for an architecture firm." .... "oh, i do the digital x-rays at the hospital." ... "oh, i run the server at an independent political library." ... "oh, i manage the database at a co-operatively owned video rental store." ... "oh, i work for IBM." ...my brother manages the video conferencing setup and voice-over-IP at an investment firm.
give a slacker a computer and they're just gonna slack digitally... and occassionally get paid a fuckload of money. short of that, why bother working at all?
