Something struck me last night about Livejournal.

Back when we first got together, Kirsten and most of her friends had Pacific Bell voice mail boxes. They shared their access codes with all their friends, and left updates on what they were doing, messages for each other, and random thoughts in the boxes.

Livejournal is the same thing! And looking at our combined friends list, I see a few very familiar names from those days gone by... Sylvan, are your ears burning?

Minor quibble...

It wasn't PacHell, it was VoiceNet, which eventually became American Voice Retrieval.

You know, [livejournal.com profile] sylvan and I are the only ones still using the same nicknames from that era. I wonder if [livejournal.com profile] christophine, [livejournal.com profile] dave_over and [livejournal.com profile] sossity are reading this.... ;-)

1) I find this very amusing.

2) I can't believe you remembered the name of the VM service...

1) ...but accurate, you must admit.

2) Neither can I!
