Only been into the band for a few months.

| welcome to the board, glad to have you here... I am constantly shocked by the diversity of the fans for this band. Among the active people that post here there are quite a few from England, Germany, Australia, Qatar... I wonder what it is about this band that gives it such a worldwide appeal | |

| I think it is a really interesting sign of the times... there is no way that even ten years ago that this would be feasable. | |

| No it is.
It comes into the subject I have taken at uni. Human Geography. There has been research into how the proliferation of technology has spread globally and connected people and changed cultures etc. Dead interesting. | |

| You think this was possible 10 years ago?
Not to pull age on this one, but I remember what the internet was like 10 years ago... back then it was all BBS, Prodigy vs. CompuServe and USENET groups... the internet was only for "nerds" and a high speed connection was 33.6 (I remember when my modem went from 2400 to 14.4, it was awesome).
10 years ago, downloading a single image took a few minutes, and all music was stored in GINORMOUS .WAV files so downloading a song would take atleast an hour.
long story short, 10 years ago... no way. | |

long story short, 10 years ago... no way. It's quite amazing that such a thing could happen in a relatively short period of time. Ten years ago I don't think I had even heard of the internet. | |
