The September that never ended

[mtbc]

Today is 10,000 September 1993. For me, various computing things probably peaked in around the mid-nineties: an X client with ctwm and trn^* was pleasant to use, one rarely needed to use % to e-mail via gateways, there was still plenty of signal among the noise, and Netscape supported HTML tables. I feel fortunate to have been online back then before the ocean of ignorance and exploitation.

^*We also got Gnus 5 but I had not yet discovered it.
