True enuff; and I made a little boo-boo: EasyNET was around in the glorious '80s, too! We were running VMS, natch, and little old me got jammed up behind a couple of posts I made there concerning contemporary international politics, about which I will say no more, as I don't wish to have the repercussions I got back then.
EasyNET had a slew of various threads on all kinds of interests and was the predecessor, at least as far as I'm concerned in my own experience, of places like AOL's and CompuServe's forums, and Salon's Table Talk (where I also got jammed up a couple of times) Oh Lordy, now the memories are flooding back: USENET, and in my own neck of the woods in suburban Beantown back then, the Boston Computer Society's BBS, which I accessed through a DEC Rainbow, the machine I also used to login to DEC VAXen at work to monitor various jobs and processes from home. Ain't it great to be one of the surviving dinosaurs? cheers, from rainy northern Vermont today...
