I gave up the Amiga and bought a PC, got on Prodigy, Compuserve and AOL (no pictures anywhere) and found Olive Tree and Cyndi's List. I was in heaven! Ship Lists!!!

I do strive to accept what life hands out and try to make the best of a bad situation. <br /><br />I find it doesn't help to wallow in self-pity, far better to give yourself a meaningful task to achieve. <br /><br />My mother's "stiff upper lip" British upbringing rising up in me I think :-)Olive Tree Genealogyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02381110998759242462noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8641680.post-87939716615991066232012-02-28T12:31:45.372-05:002012-02-28T12:31:45.372-05:00CallieK - I don't remember what it was called ...CallieK - I don't remember what it was called but I do remember waiting 4 days for messages/emails to go out and a response to come back! <br /><br />Much of mine was done via Message Boards on BBS.

I had to laugh when I read this- I too have been online for longer than most people, (BBS's in the late 80's but didn't have my own set-up until around the same time as you). I love to tell people I used the internet before there were pictures, or even browsers.
