I am 60 years old and am a great fan of yours.

I LOVED your piece on "Being Jon Gordon" and the wonderful pause you inserted in the podcast when you were asked by one of the OTHER Jon Gordon's about who, exactly, were YOU?

I have probably been using what used to pass for computers since before you were born.

I used to try to use the internet back in the bad old days when if you didn't type in the exact URL for one of the few universities connected to the pre-Al-Gore-internet . . . and then navigate from there, via THEIR connections, to some content you wanted . . . .

Well . . . it just made me crazy . . .

And all this was on a dial-up connection . . . .

Could you do a series of podcasts on "the bad old days"

If not, I will probably have to get off my duff do it myself . . . .

Hey, you're only 16 years older than me. We're basically peers.

As far as "the bad old days," one of these days I'm going to dust off archive content and replay some stuff I did on Future Tense from the mid and late 90s... Some of that stuff will be pretty funny, I'm sure...
