| I'd like to thank Leslie Miller for her great article about Q-Link (and this web site), which appeared in the February 10, 2000 issue of USA Today. :-)
| DATE:Tue, 20 Feb 2001 01:29:29 From:IXIJimIXI@aol.com To:qlinklives@lycos.com It's funny, but I find myself thinking of Qlink when I'm awake this late at night (1 am or so). Of course, I guess it's not TOO funny, as this was the time of night when I used Qlink the most, at least during the summertime. I was a member of Qlink from 1989 until around 1991 or so, joining when I was 16. I was originally drawn to the network by the novelty of being able to talk to people across the country whom I had never met before. It was facinating to talk to people whom I would have never had interacted with before. What kept me a member though was the sense of community. I can remember many summer nights where I loaded up the software, grabbed my notebook with my friends' screennames in it, and IMed each of them once I was connected (no buddy lists back then). With so few members on Qlink, I would always end up running into a friend or Guide I knew. You can't do that these days...it's tough enough to get regulars even in one room on AOL. The feel of those summer nights, with the sound of that 1200 baud modem connecting, myself leaning back and chatting with good friends until Qlink shut off in the morning. Those fond memories, of time well spent with friends long since drifted out of touch, those are memories that will be held in my heart forever. And it's only fitting, for there will never be another place with the soul of QuantumLink.
