Are any of the current active posters the sons/daughters of the Old Guard posters from the preceding message board, etc?

No, not a son or daughter of myself and Mrs. Billd...that I know of anyway...

My grandfather started posting on GopherHole back in 1951.

From home, my first GopherHole experience was on dial-up.

I was a keypunch operator back in 1979.

I was a keypunch operator back in 1979.

My first quarter (yes, quarter) at the U was the last quarter you had to get a punch card from the professor in order to register for class.

Yea. Bought my season tickets last year of memorial stadium. I saw us beat PSU on the road and in 2019. Outside of that it is the same old thing. 3rd tier. Never will change. No RB or anything close. Gave up my tix last year but still go to a couple to tailgate.

My first year was the last year you had to register on a piece of paper and wait in line to give it to someone. The next year it went online via a pretty primitive text window type system. But within a couple years after that it was a web page.

I remember playing Oregon Trail in Elementary School when it was all printed out on a teletype machine in the school library

I'm not sure what was worse:

1. Waiting for a successful music file transfer on Napster.

Or

2. Wondering if Lars Ulrich was going to send me to prison.
