Bunch of old timers around here!

Since CIS has been brought up, I'm surprised nobody has mentioned FIDOnet yet. Or offline QWK packet readers. Or BBS packages like PCBoard and Wildcat.

For the C= crowd, do you remember playing with 300 baud coupler modem?

Wasn't that just a few years ago?

Feels like only a few weeks *sigh*

Just checked wikipedia, and apparently they formed in 1979.

Lucky you, I don't even know what the heck half of this stuff is (the older computers) ... Born in 1994... Don't think I'll know much about the past, but more about the future
