Oh man! 1997. I turned 20 that year. And I met my fiancee a week before my birthday, so we've been together 20 years now.
It was also the year I decided to quit hockey. My knees had taken a beating and I couldn't really find the motivation to do a season of rehab, so I quit. A decision I sometimes regret, but it is what it is.
I worked as postman back then. A career I traded for life as a developer, but I still remember the horrible winters delivering mail (and the beautiful Summers!).
I remember the old design! I've visited these forum since forever, and Subsim have been a constant in my life even though I haven't participated everyday.
