2009? It's really essentially the same, all the major players were thriving then too. Try 1999. The wild west man. Computer people back then were like wizards. No web 2.0, things were less interactive. Also, just about everyone using it then was of more intelligence. Nowadays every regular jackoff uses it and thinks they're smart too.

I miss the days of BBS's, screaming fast 9600 baud and Legend Of The Red Dragon. Messing with Teachers by installing Back Orifice on unprotected school computers. War Dialers, Virus Creation Kits, Phreaking and messing with payphones - the entire 90's was a great time to be curious about computers. There are times I yearn for the Hiss and spit of a Modem.
