I refer you to my vapid comments of the Australian morning of September 11 2001, followed by the startled comments of the evening, at http://theducks.livejournal.com/2001/09/11/
I remember going into the lounge room to interrupt my mother watching The Bill and saying "Mum, you really have to see this!" "Can it wait" *changed channel* "Ohhhh..". Mum and I having visited there in 1999.
So young readers of my interblags, what were you doing back then? I know at least one of you was in primary school, which scares me somewhat.
Duck out.
And for the record, I did buy another Intel PRO/100, but threw it out (well, gave it to
lathiat) the next year, when I got ADSL.

My roommate came home from class then and we sat on my floor watching TV until my boss called me to see if I would go over to work, which was maybe 250 feet from my dorm. I must be forgetting some part of the memory because, knowing her as I do, I can't imagine she'd insist that I go to work that day.
I do remember being beside myself with panic because my two best friends were at NYU and lived near there. I had no long distance plan on my dorm phone and cell phones were hopelessly overloaded so I had no way of calling out to find out. I had to wait for my mom to call me with updates.
I have another, what I assume to be, false memory of my roommate running into my work with my cordless phone and me talking to my mom on it. It was a crappy phone with nowhere near the range needed to get from my basement room to the building I was working in.
I had no internet in my dorm yet so I spent much of the following days in the library checking email and news sites. I didn't turn the TV off for 3 weeks. It was constantly on MSNBC.
