RAMARAO KANNEGANTI

I was born in Sowpadu, Andhra Pradesh, India. It is a small town near Guntur in India... Special panchayat upper primary school, Pallapadu: Slightly bigger village, one mile away from Sowpadu. Our village did not have beyond 5th grade, so I walked to this village everyday to attend school. Thankfully, it was not too far to walk... I have been on the internet since the beginning (and arpanet even before). I saw the birth of www, wais, and gopher. I participated in newsgroups, mailing lists, and groups -- the social media of that time. What it meant is that I accumulated lot of articles over time. A few of them have value forever; a vast majority of them are digital archelogical pieces capturing the spirit of times.
