i recall it was ramadhan n me doing suhur with family while news of boris yelson resigning..that was kind of odd usually Russian leaders dong step down..i remember being a nostradamus end times internet nerd on nntp or forums. crazy 16 yr old me on dial up internet.our family took turns to use Internet on a 550 mhz compaq presario.. boy those were some interesting times.. families were more united n cohesive now everyone has gadgets n so isolated. lets bring back good ol days..invest more in human 2 human connection..i make all effort to talk to strangers when at supermarket n have a good laugh or two, life is short. hopefully ill meet a wife this way.. love n commitment ooo too scary in 2024 let me cling to my laptop n Netflix.. comfortable ahh.. 😀
