Healthwise it's going better than last week. My cold is getting better, I forced myself to exercise and I willingly played music for the first in weeks.
I've never been in a pool as I have easy access to beaches (I still don't go anyways). I suspect many people here take showers after going to beach, to rid themselves of the sand that gets everywhere.
I remember e-mail providers having low storage, maybe 1MB max and getting e-mails frequently deleted by said providers after not logging in after a certain time.
Using MSN and yahoo chat rooms were a fun way to meet people. I remember there being rooms on Yahoo (were they called conferences?) just for people to have singing sessions.
Locally, almost everyone with a computer and dialup had MSN messenger installed, so plenty chatting with classmates after school on there.
I vaguely remember being subscribed to yahoo groups for fan and local interests. They were a good way to be kept informed.
Surfing the web was fun. I never knew what I would find next.
Oh wow, it sounds challenging? Good on you for making it through though!
