I still remember it decades ago, sitting at home, staring at graphics on my screen, staring at graphs of it processing data.

I felt like I was contributing to something. And for the time and the era that it was in, the graphics were cool. The graphs were cool.

The guy who thought that up should get an award. What a way to take a non-profit program, and turn it into something of beauty. What are way to engage the public!

It was groundbreaking, new and unique And in me, it just produces fond memories.

This seems to be missing from the modern web. I think it's almost like a small town feel, that flare of uniqueness that you get when you know everybody in the town. The web is just gone, past that point, never to return.
