Netsex: Get a Grip!

      

Hi cyberfans!

This strand contains a few observations on cyber-life. It's a world we inhabited with great enthusiasm initially, and many's the night we typed and sweated till the dawn hours - and didn't always stop then.

Our longest continous cyber was no less than 37 hours, although the last eight were trying to stop, but couldn't.

magnificat's recommendation: don't be as damn stupid as me. Not only does it run up your phone bill something rotten, but it's just not healthy to spend so long pretending to be somebody else. At one time I had five distinct, fully-formed "characters".

We have not significantly cybered since February 1999, but these following stories are just a taste of what we learned over the previous few years. The first story, Netsex - Get a Grip, has been quite hightly praised.
