Hello all!Last night I was at a grad party for a WPI student. She and her boyfriend attended. I quickly learned that there's still wedge rats, which warmed my heart in a very geeky way. But that the wedge had somewhat been shifted to some quad thing? I didn't find out, but was wondering if current students were aware of UDF.
So, this morning, here I am. 'Trying to see if UDF 1-4 was lost to the ages. Thankfully I found this site. I may just have to give them a re-read.
Let me transport back in time... I remember sitting in my friend's room many a year ago. His friend was a rat at the time. We were on some computer that was about the size of a 70qt cooler dialing up to compu$erve at 300 baud (on a good day).
We'd Telnet into WPI and download UDF to print out on the lovely dot matrix printer from hell. A process that seemed to take at least a day. I remember waiting for the new issues to come out. I wrote a few e-mails to MegaZone and perhaps Gryphon. At 7 cents a page, I didn't tend to write as much back then. But if you guys are around, how have ya been?
While there's been a UDF void in my life since those years, it's never left my being. I still find myself quoting some of it (and having people stare back at me in utter confusion). So, thanks for a great piece of work- I'd have to say that it did influence my life.
take care,
