[QUOTE="Bagels, post: 1681732, member: 43436"] A lot has changed in 15 years. Just one example: 15 years ago--- Desktop computers were just beginning to reach maturity within the consumer market (laptops, which had just dropped below $2K, were out of reach for most people). People accessed internet via dial-up connections, mostly AOL. Many households were adding second lines for internet, leading to a surge in area codes. Cell phones were still penetrating consumer markets. AirTouch Cellular was joining several other carriers to form a new company called Verizon. Several baby bells were doing the same to become Cingular, which later acquired AT&T Wireless, and then AT&T itself. Sprint was the largest wireless carrier and the first to introduce the concept of NO LONG DISTANCE FEES. People worried horrendously about their 250 "anytime minutes." 1MP digital cameras had just dropped below the $500 market, but experts agreed that digital cameras would never overtake film, especially in the professional segment.
