Arcnet? Sheesh. Towards the end of Arcnet's tenure, we had become so tired of the flakiness that we had soldered the twisted pair to all the network cards. If you wanted to move a machine, you unplugged the arcnet card and left it hanging at the desk.

whahaha, I remember that! What I did mean though is that there was no Duckduckgo and solving something was a different type of cool and interesting, I have not yet started playing with Raspberry Pi so I have sooo much to look froward to (and my python fu is strong) seriously though, WordPerfect was supercool, i need to ask duckduckgo what happened to it sometime...
