Stop with the "$75k isn't enough to live on in NYC, LA, etc." We all know people in those cities aren't happy anyway, so I'm sure they were left out of the data set.

I used this WorldsChat thing back in 1999 when I got on the interwebs for the first time. It looked exactly as it does in the patent filing, penguins and all. Oh those were the days. Also, Meridian 59 was a 3D MMORPG that existed at that same time if not before.

Yes, prior art certainly exists and I'm glad it's going to be so easy to find but I did have a tinge of nostalgia creep up when I saw those drawings.
