“They talked about this novelty called “e-mail” and the Pine System, only available at institutes of higher learning and some libraries. Marcus got his first e-mail address recently but Aidan had gotten his three years earlier, so Marcus considered Aidan “a veteran”. Marcus mentioned that his college had warned its students that e-mail was for “research purposes only”. “Yeah, we all laughed at that, too”, quipped Aidan. “But just a word of warning: Don't get too much into newsgroups or IRC, or you'll wonder where the last 24 hours went.” “What’s “IRC’?” “’Internet Relay Chat’. It’ll be the end of us all”, joked Aidan.”
