Love was so much sweeter back in the days of BBSing... You met a teenager of the opposite sex, for a while you flirted in Legend of the Red Dragon. Then, one night when you were the only people on, you had your first chat session. You showed each other your ASCII art. You shared juicy tidbits about Fidonet. And, eventually, you consumated your blossoming love.
Kids these days, they hop into a chat room from AOL and - Bam! - before you know it, they're buying a digital camera to post naked pictures of themselves for their virtual partners...
Those were simpler times, my friends, simpler times.
