My first year in college I studied programming in ForTran and BASIC. The internet was only a sci-fi concept in 1984. We didn’t even have dorms, I had to live at home and drive 20 mines to classes.

I would have thought that back when he was in college, the Internet would be strictly for science nerds and computer geeks.

Whoa, the present storyline has everyone freaked out about meeting characters’ parents and it turns out we already met Joyce’s. A victory for ADD!
