About twenty years ago I was trolling around the Internet explaining how Microsoft was going to screw over IBM and OS/2. I went by melling back then too:
A year later, I found my first developer job via the Internet and ended up in the NYC area. About a year out of college I bought a used 386 computer, got Linux running and a PPP connection, then I was back on the Internet.
Today, the Internet is just bigger and faster, while Steve's NeXT computer fits in your front shirt pocket.
