Actually happened to my grandfather. The existing teeth refused to get out of the way... Required surgery to remove the interlopers.

Guess you don't remember "Prodigy" and local "bulletin boards". LOL

 

Um I was on Prodigy, Compuserv and Earthlink. I even ran a BBS at one time (thought I was super cool with two phone lines).

At one point, I somehow managed to sign into Compuserv via Singapore and my mom had to talk her way out of a $3k phone bill. Needless to say, I could barely walk for a week.

 

This was with a Tandy 1000 back in the 1980s.

So you were on Social Media in the 80s.  I wrote a complete accounting system for a Men's and Ladies boutique in 1985 on an 8bit Z80 machine.  Before the IBM XT became popular.  Switched to a 286 clone with dual 20mb drives when they first came out.  Did a sector by sector backup from one drive to the other every morning.

Yeah, I finally had to use the Y2K scare to get them into getting a new system.  It wouldn't really have effected the system because iit already used a numerical "so many days before or after 1900" to store dates, but I was really worried about supporting a system using hardware that old.

Well by that time, I wasn't messing with computers as much. Those were my wild, glory days....

It's the way I earned a living starting about 1978 till I retired in 2005. VBG
