re: I know I'm young...but how did college social stuff work before cell phones?

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.

I had one friend that had a personal computer with Internet during the Napster years. He made a few dollars off of us burning CDs. I probably shouldn't have said nerd, just wasn't as common for a high school or college kid to have their own personal computer. I remember some parents having one, including mine. I guess the term computer nerd was thrown around a lot more back then is why I say that.
