Mark CubanGUEST
But I saw for a while you were not saying anything.
Mark CubanGUEST
Yeah, it was just, you know, Like, after I sold MicroSolutions, I sold it to CompuServe, owned by H&R Block.
Mark CubanGUEST
And they did a lot of things that I didn't agree with, and it took a couple years for me to, okay, get past it.
Mark CubanGUEST
And then with Broadcast.com, same thing.
Xavier AsheGUEST
Yeah, I mean, I think it's done well.
Xavier AsheGUEST
It's interesting because the same tactics and techniques that were discovered at some point in the last 30 to 40 years are still in use today, right? The things I used to do in hacking on Prodigy and CompuServe, right? We still, you know, we talk about, you know, the phishing now.
Rafal LosHOST
CompuServe.
Xavier AsheGUEST
It was just phishing back then.

Thom HartmannHOST
It was wild.
Thom HartmannHOST
I mean, it was back in the late 70s, early 80s.
Bill LennanHOST
a long, long time ago.
Bill LennanHOST

Dave SaundersGUEST
Yeah,
Dave SlusherHOST
There was other stuff on genie and genie was like a dial in network, you know, late eighties, early nineties era.
Dave SlusherHOST
CompuServe, AOL, Genie, they were all competitors for doing roughly the same thing.
Dave SlusherHOST
Slightly differently.
Dave SlusherHOST
And the Genie SFRT was fun.
Alex ChompffGUEST
I started banging on one in the 80s because I wanted to meet girls.
Alex ChompffGUEST
And there were more girls on CompuServe than there were in Dungeons & Dragons.
Alex ChompffGUEST
So it's like, okay, here I come.
Alex ChompffGUEST
And so I've been playing with technology for a long, long time.
