    @fluttershy95 - I'm trying to calculate the odds of there actually being ANOTHER brony in the village of Glencoe. I didn't think numbers went that high... :D

              @blankron The first networkable computers were made possible in the sixties if I remember correctly, because scientists/government wanted to speed up communication/datatransfer/security/red-scare

                @thehighlander - That's about right, though the number of computers that were actually networked was very small. As late as the mid 70s a lot of high schools were still MAILING programs on punch cards to universities, for then to run and mail back the output. Something like RDN, publicly accessible and superficially trivial, would have been science fiction and less believable than 'Star Trek'...

                  @blankron I dunno, Star Trek was pretty unbelievable. Of course, scientific understanding which I consider basic was built on the foundations of the sciences pioneered in the nuclear age. #

                    @thehighlander - One of the fun things about living a while (and paying attention) is that you get to watch entire bodies of knowledge appear and occasionally disappear. And if you're an SF fan you get the added fun of saying to people, 'Yeah, we actually used to believe that was true. Can you imagine? '

                      @blankron That phenomenon happens to me too. Like, good music appeared in the 80's and disappeared when 90's music started being played on "classic" rock radio channels (like seriously, who wants to turn their radio to a classc rock station and hear Nirvana? Bleh.)

                        @thehighlander - Okay, I'm curious: what music do you like from the 80s? Personally, I consider anything recorded after the invention of <shudders> disco to be too recent to be classic anything...

                          @blankron Well lets see - I'm about to mention artists who were 70s-80s - Queen, Elton Jon, Boston. For artists who were primarily 80s, Journey is a big one. Journey is classic, I do not care how old or young you are. To name a few. not necessarily 80s but I also like Allman Brothers and some Billy Joel's piano pieces and there's more

                            @thehighlander - Funny, I never managed to develop a taste for Journey. Or the Allman Brothers, now that I think of it. But I don't think you'd find anything to dislike if by some chance you found yourself with my LPs and my old Dual turntable...
