Ditto. I lucked into being a courier. We had a second phone line at my house and while we cancelled it, Bell Atlantic left it active for three YEARS, but no active billing attached to it, so I could call anywhere in the world for free. I used Slip.NET for years too, and became a courier between EU and North America, since I had free long distance I could make the long calls to upload/download. To this day I have spoken aloud my warez courier handle exactly once, to my wife, and I doubt she remembers it. There's two other people in the world who know (each ran a BBS in the 412 that were my US endpoints), but I doubt they remember today, and I have no plans on becoming culpable what that identity did. :D


Greets!


The 412? As in the Pittsburgh area?


Indeed. Born and raised in Pgh, moved out of PA in 2009.
