Since I graduated high school. that really does seem like an eternity. i was trying to think what all was going on ten years ago; and i came of the opinion the more that i thought about it… that the world changed. 9/11 didnt happen. no wars in afghanistan or iraq. bill clinton was president. the internet was still largely accessed by the hordes of AOL users. iphone? ipod? there wasnt even the imac yet. there was no windows vista, no xp, no NT5 or 2000. we had windows 98, pre SE! no firefox. linux existed, barely, in Mandrake and mostly in Red Hat. apache was a buzz word when it came to computers. multi cores didnt exist, multi threading couldnt even work in the current OS’s. the red sox largely sucked. the yankees were a good team. there was no bartman for the cubs fans. nascar still had dale earnhardt. hell richard petty had hardly hung it up. limp bizkit was already out of favor once, we had heard all we wanted of the boy bands, and the new crop of girl [without]bands was propping up. britney spears seemed like a porno character, hardly the household name. and michael jackson was still boning 8 year olds. the world was different. that was the world i lived in, until so many things changed.
but that was when i graduated high school.
