Still, I wouldn't mind going back to the time before the Internet. Truth be told, I prefer the good old BBS world to the internet these day. I miss the fact that at that time your peer were mostly local. Now, everything and everyone is so remote, so impersonal.

I have presently 3 Amiga that I can't use because I lack a KS + WB disk set. I bought a few from people here and on AmiBay and Evilbay, and I'm still waiting for them to arrive. In the good old day, I would have logged on a few local BBS, set up a meeting and got my set of floppy in about 4 hours top and a short drive to meet the other party.

And last I checked, beside the near instant gratification of the internet in regard to amiga.org post, nothing that is done here couldn't be done, albeit more slowly via a good old BBS + Fido.

Ah, the good old day... And get off my lawn :)

he will be back, i give him a month... living without the internet in 2011 are impossible.

Plenty of peoples on this planet don't have access to the Internet and they are doing just fine, and I'm not talking about 3rd world country either. The internet is a luxury not a necessary component to life.
