now it's like .01% LOL, sorry guys. i'm overwhelmed with school stuff.
What I meant is more like... 7 / (7+5) * 100 = 58%. ie. you've been a member of FJ for more than half your life! For me, it's just 20% of my life.
Actually, I think that's kinda cool. To still be able to read stuff you wrote when you were in 4th grade... I only ever wrote school assignments that have probably since been thrown away. And even if they weren't thrown away, it's doubtful they'd provide much of an insight into my mindset, whereas I'd say message board posts often times can and do.
Of course, when I was in fourth grade, there wasn't really much of an internet to speak of. Gigafrost and his siblings each had their own
IBM XT and the best computer in the whole house was a
IBM PS/2. A PS/2 Model 55SX was the best computer in my own house, as well.
I remember me and Gigafrost (we met in fourth grade) connecting to each others computers over the modem via
ProComm Plus. To chat with someone over the computer was the coolest thing ever!
In contrast, when you were in fourth grade, AOL Instant Messenger had achieved market dominance and Windows XP was a brand new OS.
You're making me feel old, heh
