Wow, what a cool story. I use that term on the regular, what an interesting history!

I must also confess I haven't felt this way about sativas in a long time. Not sure what happened but sometimes it makes me kind of sad to not feel that big brain effect. Been meaning to microdose LSD but it's hard finding a reliable connect

On another note, a young tweenage me wrote his first program on my uncle's copy of VB3. I wanted to write a terminal-type app that could dial a BBS and interact with it. I got about as far as getting the modem to dial.... I'm sure there's an angry BBS operator out there somewhere who got sick of this kid dialing his number and then never initiating the handshake. So... thank you for helping to create the tools I used to do that!



Oh my gosh. Thank you for sharing that. It means so much to me when I hear that my code helped someone build a business, have fun in a hobby, or even get in a little trouble. :-)
