Before AOL became AOL they were QuantumLink, which was a network for
Commodore64 users. They had PeopleConnection then, too. I was using QL in
the late 1980s, and I met my husband in PeopleConnection. He was living
on Long Island, I was living in Alaska. He moved up and we fell in love and
have been together ever since December 5, 1988 (got officially married two
years later but we were emotionally married immediately).

I have a lot of fond memories of the Red Dragon Inn from that time, but I
went in there a few years ago... man has it changed.
