Blast from the Past - My Road Runner Mousepad!
Posted: Sat Feb 02, 2019 8:03 pm
I was cleaning out the hutch cabinets above my desk and came across the original "Road Runner Ready Kit" box I got when I first got cable internet access at home. It still has all the documentation in it, including the 55 page User Guide, the 200+ page "Road Runner Guide to Cyberspace" and the handy Desktop Reference laminated card, with information for Internet Explorer and Outlook, dated 2000.
My wife was leery of spending money on cable internet when we had perfectly good dial-up modems but she finally relented and we signed up. The oldest dated signature in the box was a receipt from early 2001, so I guess that was when we got it.
Here's the included mouse pad, which I had never gotten out of the box till today .
