I don't know about it being the strangest. I only had one friend with a cell phone, it was actually his moms and if you had a personal computer we thought you were kind of a nerd.

I disagree with this. There were only a few people on campus that had laptops because even a PoS was $2K then. I was actually jealous of people that had one.

You must mean laptop, because everyone I knew had a computer by around '97 or '98 and by '99 everyone had aol and getting ahold of people via IM was really easy. most people already had beepers and by 2000-2001 was the cell phone boom. Texting became prevalent around 2001 when everyone had that Nokia candy bar phone.
