>>2459555M8, i was online before memes became a thing. I was there when you downloaded shit by dialing into other peoples computer. I was there when Mathias Rust landed his tiny plane on the place before the Kremlin. I was there when Echelon was just a rumor. I was there when the US installed a trojan on Russian gas pipline pumps and broke them. I was there when Europe was radiated because Russians couldn't control Chernobyl. I was there when the wall fell.
