DeviantArt just amazes me. I put up the last penciled version of Elidi (as a finished image, I really like my pencil work this time) and in under two minutes someone added it to their favorites.
It is truly amazing, when I stop to think about it. I remember begging my parents for a computer when I was a kid and getting the oh so awesome Vic20 and the tape deck to store my stuff. I was the envy of the nerdy kids. :)
By the time I was in college people were all a-twitter over this "web" thing that would let them read documents from Russia without having to wait months for the post to hopefully not lose them on the way to the states. I don't think any of us through it would end up as the place to find furry porn. Though we should have, given we had binary groups on usenet. ;>
I really should take a moment to appreciate the fact I can keep in touch with friends thousands of miles away with ease. Especially since I 'met' most of them online long before I met them in person.
It's a bit before my time, but I do recall the days of computers being rather rare. It was like the 386 days, but still -- computers were a luxury item.
I really don't think anyone would have thought the internet would be the roiling mass of pornography that it is, furry or otherwise. Looking back it makes *perfect* sense. You have guys who can't get women as the predominant users.
I do thank the scientists of our world the internet exsists. I've met so many flat out cool people and found so many neat things. It's really added an interesting facet to my life.

Just feeling silly now...
