I'm an old school 'puter dude.

Started my "net" career back when we "surfed" using SLIP on a 300 baud modem with black text on a white screen. This was before Mosaic!

No, I'm not THAT old, just net technology took off VERY fast after that.

I'm also relatively new to MMO's. Been on Eve about 2.5 years and I am STILL learning what a "meme" is let alone what they are.

Do a favour for an old fart, drop your favourite Eve meme here and tell me what it means (and if possible, the origin).

I'll do my best to LIKE every one I see. (whatever that means)...
