Also, I'm new to this list and to Gemini (hi, everyone!), but I'm
old enough to remember when we called it "the net" and not "the
web". Gemini does a great job of bringing back the
impossible-to-describe feel of the early 1990s internet, right after
BBSs and right before Canter and Siegel did their thing and filled
up my NNTP drive. :)
I don't know if a researcher already did a survey of geminauts, and oftheir age. Are they old people nostalgic of the beginning or youngpeople eager to revolutionize "Dad's Web"? I was also a Usenet adminat the time of C&S.
