    Lot more downtime. I didn't really know vintage computers were an actual valid hobby i could have until the mid '00s, so I didn't really have many friends. Still don't, outside of those hobbyist circles.

    The internet's also the only reason I can actually speak to people who aren't other Americans, too, and since I don't really like other Americans much that makes it kind of nice. It's like a glimpse into a life where i can be more well traveled.
