Ah, good memories. I wasn't into the calling card stuff so much. But I was heavily involved in the BBS era. I remember my computer desk littered with dot matrix printouts of BBS numbers and other printouts of game activation codes...until neverlock came out. Haven't heard the term warez in years. Call waiting was evil until I found out about *70. Brings back memories of tools like Norton Utilities 6, Procomm/telix/telemate, xtree gold, TheDraw. Heck, even debug. The boards I connected to were running Wildcat(yuck), WWIV, Telegard, PCBoard.. The sound of my 2400 modem connecting was almost magical.. Thanks for the trip down memory lane. Those were great times!

Jeff, Very admirable and wise thing to do. Many have missed this unfortunately and I think you're spot on. Thanks for all you've done for Stack Exchange, especially SO. Please keep up the blogging if possible. Your blogs are entertaining and informative. I always look forward to them.

Jeff, first of all, congratulations on the twin girls! My wife is due next week and this is our 5th. Yep, we were out numbered a long time ago. Your 51%/49% graph is right on. Glad it's not just us. Buckle up for another change. Boys are one thing, but girls... I was just telling my wife last night that our little girl is my weakness. Her cuteness and daintiness makes me melt. I'm looking forward to your future post on how girls are SO different from boys, right from the start. It's great therapy!
