RM> how the rest of the world makes out. In the early years of this

ZI>That's cool! I mostly met people through local events here in the mid-90s, bu
  >hat was fun, too!

We had a few of those get togethers here as well, but usually so far
from where I live I didn't manage to get there, but one time I
stopped in to visit one Sysop where he worked and he had little time
to chat but called another couple on the BBS who invited me over
for lunch and such. They gave me a copy of a computer game that I
used for years after that..

ZI>Aww -- those are cute. =)

I don't think those are native where you are, other than the
Siberian Chipmunk that was introduced into Europe and Sweden
at one point, so maybe you have that one. Checking online,
they look pretty much identical to the ones we have here..

Best wishes..
