How many coders, devs, programmmers, IT peeps, technical design folks are also musicians and/or seriously in pursuit of music lifelong? Curious to know as for more than 30 years in tech I see a lot of crossover.

I’m not sure about “in pursuit” of music, but that was my major. I’ve been in software engineering my whole adult life with very little music, sadly. I have bills to pay 😆

Now sure. But in 1993 nobody was making bank much less net worth from early HTML and Lynx on a terminal using modems. That the web would be a source of income much less be developed or designed beyond text content? I remember a Pez dispenser home page for collectors. Now eBay. 😂

Well back then I had a modem you had to connect to the phone handset with velcro and you had to blue box your way to connect to a computer that had an internet connection to get internet 😆

I started with an external Hayes 300 baud modem the size of a tissue box and a commodore! The acoustic coupler that you had? I never used one myself but the immediate Next Generation. Kind of wish I'd had the experience of the coupler! Cool that you did.
