    Today, Gene Fourney is the CEO of IT company TechnologyWest in Denver. I thought this story wouldn’t be complete unless I made an attempt to contact him. I emailed him, asking him some questions about NetWorks at the time, but he wasn’t interested in reminiscing. “I’m not revisiting an issue that you may have experienced in 1998 with Networks,” Fourney wrote. “Times are dramatically different in 2023 than they were in 1998. Not sure why anyone would have an interest in revisiting 28K dialup days of 1998.”

    Lmao, what is wrong with this guy? I found this whole article to be humorous and light and it was a fun look back on the old days. Tons of people have an “interest in revisiting it”.

    Given his location it strikes me that I have a solid chance of actually meeting this guy in person and sussing out why he’s such a no-fun prick.
