Funny you should mention that--the Cellar is where I downloaded my first copy of the original Netscape beta. I got used to navigating with UNIX commands here too. And learns *piles* of Internet and especially Usenet lore; the Cellar was one of th efew lplaces with a genuine Usenet feed in those days, although the volume ultimately overwhelmed it.

Perhaps we can program a Barak emulation. I seem to recall suggesting at thet time that he *was* an AI.
And where's Major Matt Mason and the Arms Locker?
Now *there* was a character. I think I know who he was IRL, although said person denies it steadfastly. Don't forget bronwyn and rouge. Knew them IRL for sure.
Especially bronwyn.
I think I'm sneaking up on the ten year mark, although my appearances have been *very* sporadic.
As for the story about how I first found the place...Starry Sky...don't ask. You'd never belive it. I still don't believe it, and it happend to *me*...
