UUCP (usenet feed (20MB/day) and "email" downloads via 2400baud modem) onto
NCR Tower
Pyramid
AT&T 3b2
SCO Xenix (or was that SCO unix) on "IBM AT" hardware LOL
And my email "address" at the time was something like (no stink'n "@" like
today with "smart" mail routers and name resolution!
you had to supply the path from
well known hubs or you got no email!)
{trw|???}! felix!birtch!ken
TRW and another hub (I forget) on the west coast were the well-known hubs - I
was one hop away from them (on the 'felix' system)
Who said this was making them feel old?

BIMODEM with concurrent up- and download and life chat with the Sysop (and the
possibility to download the BBS password file, in a commom misconfiguration).
Before that Kermit (slooooooow). Or uucp in a magic parallel-world on that
brand new but terribly complicated OS named Linux or so (with slight
limitations, such as the second floppy needed to be used as swap, otherwise
only one xterm window would open).
Hmm. What was the original question?
