I'm not talking about the prior BBS days, or anything else. Just the InterWebs
We had out first one-line, 2 hours a night, BBS back in 1985 when I was in my last year of university. Just a silly thing I ran off of Blue Board on my old Commodore 64. Moved it from there to an Amiga and then to an IBM-AT. It was because of the BBSes that we got onto the 'net so early.
