i think being onlin has been one of the best experience of my life...i've only had the pc since february, and have met more people thati have so much in common with than i ever have.

it's especially good with bands/music because before there was no real way i could meet other fans of the same things...even if you were in a fan club, or on a mailing list, there was no way of corresponding with other fans or even knowing if there were any people out there with the same ideas and tastes.

last month, through being on line, a group of us from the aztec camera mailng list discovered we all lived in the same town, so we met up and had a really good time. i could have walked past the same peope in the street and not had a clue about them, whereas on the net, the communication barriers that normally exist are gone.

it just is the best way to find common ground and share experiences those close to us may not understand
