It is amazing when you think about it. As in , say 20 years ago and now today. I am in my late 40's and remember going through the college library card cataloge ( yes, cards with words typed from a type writer) looking for subject heading relating to tickling. Then, if pointed in the right direction, reading the index for the words with tickling, tickle etc. Seems like a century ago. I think I also used to ride a horse to get anywhere and had to read by candle light.

I'm 68 (but feel 22 and act 12 in my silly moments). Got my first computer in 1998, went to "Love @ AOL" (now Match.com, I think) and saw a girl's profile and, at the end of it where they called for a "personal quote", hers was "tickle tickle tickle". Needless to say, it got my attention and I e-mailed her and we started an on-line romance, graduated to telephone, and after about 4 months I travelled to meet her and had one of the great weekends of my life. We had a good number of similar times over the years, but this all started just a month or so after I had gotten my computer. It seemed so easy. But I guess it was beginners' luck. Since then it hasn't been quite so easy. But prior to '98, it was all adult shops with tickle movies to rent and rooms to watch them in, VHSs to buy and see at home when nobody else was looking, and the various magazines mentioned by others that I also saw (and bought at times), and some correspondence with Max Speer. Of course, with the internet of today, events like NEST and sites like TMF exist that could never have happened in pre-computer days. As a NEST vet I have had this discussion with others over the years and have made the point in the past that just because I am older than the average TMFr does not mean that I, and others my age, didn't have just as strong a passion to tickle as anybody today. It's just that the internet has helped bring us together.

I recently turned 49. I saw my first computer in 1977, in the computer science department at the University of Oklahoma. It was programmed by means of holes punched in a long spool of paper tape, and it had no monitor. The output device was a dot-matrix printer, and every time the screen refreshed it printed a new page.

The first computer I owned was in 1985 - a "Fat Mac" with 512K of ram, one floppy drive, and no hard drive. I used an external HDD with a whopping 20 megabytes of storage. I connected to bulletin boards (no web then) by means of a 2400 baud modem and a phone line.
