Happy Anniversary to me!! [Vanity]
FreeRepublic | 29 November 2011 | ShadowAce

Posted on 11/29/2011 5:22:16 PM PST by ShadowAce

Today marks the 11th Anniversary of my first sign on to FR.

I had lurked for about a month around the election of 2000 before finally registering for an account--and I haven't left since.

This is my first stop in the morning, and last at night. It's where I can get up-to-the-minute news, and commentary from people who I trust, even though we don't always agree.

Thank you to all who make this possible!

I’ll have to post so I can click on my own name and see when I became an addict as well.

In the beginning it was Jim and I and a Timex Sinclair for a server.

Hehe ... I have a Timex Sinclair on display on a shelf in my office, WITH the 32 K expansion module plugged in!

My first real experiments with BASIC programming were done on that machine with the cassette tape recorder as my ‘disk drive’.

Wow. Hadn’t thought about that in YEARS!

Gotcha beat by twelve days, noobie:

Charles Henrickson
Since Nov 17, 2000

I had written a parody called "The Palm Beach Pokey" about a week before, and somebody told me it was getting a lot of attention on this thing called "Free Republic." So I signed up.

867 threads and 39,295 replies later, I'm still here.

P.S.: 39,296 now.
