Indeed it does. I was born a few years later :-) That's what I love about "digital archaeology" like this - it's so much fun to find and explore things from a time you can't possibly imagine on your own.

You call our childhood "archeology"? Get off our lawn! People born after 2000 aren't real anyways.

Huh, I guess I should tell everyone I know that I don't exist ;)

In all seriousness, I like learning about things that were before my time, and that's why I use the term "archaeology." It's not really archaeology, since I know plenty of people who were alive at the time, but it still appeals to my inner curiosity.

Don’t worry, we all appreciate it!

Remarkable! I'd buy you a beer if you're old enough to have one :) Really cool project and write-up! Looking forward to any future posts

Fun fact: People born in 2004 are all turning 18 this year :)

And still, 2004 feels "a few years ago" to me. I don't know if I'll ever get used to it.

Oh wow, to think I was a college sophomore then. Ouch. Right to the ego!

> Right to the ego!

You mean as an ego boost, right? You're certainly wiser than anyone born circa 2000s. We can hack drivers for breakfast.

And touch type. Or that while the internet is great, it should be viewed with a distance and skepticism.

Probably the biggest thing I wish I could share though is general civics and history knowledge. A lot got cut from education since then in the US. Plus what 90s America felt like-freedom before “terrorism.” (Quotes because there are many great books on all this that I’m not able to even point at right now.)

Yeah the earliest I can stomach driver hacking is lunchtime
