In March 2000, I was in Fort Polk, LA and from a pay phone I called the Yahoo service that read e-mails in a highly robotic voice. It was hard to understand, but that is when I learned I got accepted into college. That moment of pure happiness was seldom repeated in past 20 years.

Do you have a random fond memory of old technology?

For me old technology is Western Union telegram. I have the telgram sent to my Grandfather announcing my birth.

Mimeograph machines were cool. Loved the way the purple ink smelled when the teacher handed out the tests.
