it does and it doesn't. it was a fast decade. -- nm - Andie Sep 8, 09:59 16
- slackertalk started in *2008*. Crazy, right? -- nm - Beryllium Sep 8, 10:01
- I agree with this. - Mel Profit Sep 8, 10:00 14
  - Kinda like the decade before it. - The Ruiner Sep 8, 10:07 2
    - shockingly, you're not wrong here. -- nm - Mel Profit Sep 8, 10:10 1
      - Same as it ever was. - The Ruiner Sep 8, 10:12
  - I was kinda surprised in reading an article on the 9/11 coverage that a top of the line journalist digital camera was the Nikon D1 at 2.7MP -- nm - oblique Sep 8, 10:03 10
    - I love that you relate to the technical change. - Mel Profit Sep 8, 10:05 9
      - also, my thoughts go there because my only "real" connection to 9/11 was the fact that I was interacting on servers inside the towers when it happened - oblique Sep 8, 10:08 1
        
        I have no real connection at all. HSX/Cantor Fitzgerald is my closest connections. -- nm - mara Sep 8, 10:26
      - heh. I did find it a bit interesting that it was pre-Facebook, pre-Twitter, pre-Android, pre-digital media for all intents. Imagine if everyone had - oblique Sep 8, 10:07 6
        
        I was actually thinking the same thing when I posted to you. - Mel Profit Sep 8, 10:09 5
        
        It was very real, just not portable. -- nm - lileve Sep 8, 10:10 1
        
        Very true. I was working at Motorola at the time and WAP (GPRS) was the top of the line for mobile data -- nm - oblique Sep 8, 10:19
        
        See above. We were on it for sure. TT was inside WTC. But like it is today, not so much -- nm - oblique Sep 8, 10:09 2
        
        The HSX servers for the east coast right? -- nm - lileve Sep 8, 10:32
        
        that last bit still boggles. -- nm - Mel Profit Sep 8, 10:11
