Story time: something like 30 years ago, someone sent me an email asking a technical question about a thing I posted online. We exchanged a couple educated emails, and they thanked me for the explanation. Then it hit me: ...who TF has email on Cuba ...whom was I talking to?

Nowadays they have Internet access for tourists, but 30 years ago... yeah, that.

    It was something technical, web hosting related I think. I'd have to dig up some old backups, if it's even still there... maybe someday. I remember thinking it must've been someone working for the government.
