To those that say you can't have real friendships online I'd like to respond with a big PHBBBBT! like Bill The Cat does. I have a friend, Collin, that I met through Geeknews. We've got a lot in common and I have another person I can talk to about geeky stuff and be understood. Teresa's eyes just glaze over when I talk geek. Anyway, Geeknews has come and gone, and he's probably the only person I still talk to regularly from it. Last night we were talking and he offered to give me $20 to buy a domain I had been looking at (it's the shiny new 2003 model!). I was content to wait until May or June, but then he said "oops" and sent me $20 through Paypal. So now I'm the proud owner of Iaconhub.com. It's set to go live after I move into my new apartment on my new handy dandy DSL. So thanks Collin.

MOST of my friends are "online friends". They're not virtual friends, because I'm about 95% sure they DO exist in some part of the world... ;P
