LOL Chris, no, I mean the internet that military facilities (NRL Washington, DC in my case) and some universities used to exchange data and email. Or, to send information back and forth about sports and tanks and anything else we felt like sharing :) In some ways it was more fun than internet is now.
I was dialling up BBSes at 300 baud, getting in trouble running up the home phone bill, as early as age... hmm... 8, I think. Maybe a year or 2 later. Mom had a typewriter-looking terminal that you sat the phone handset on top of to connect to the phone lines. It didn't have a screen, it used a built-in printer :) (Got in trouble going through rolls of paper, too!). This was before we got my Atari computer, possibly around the time that we bought our Odyssey2 game system (that you could program in hexadecimal, if you had the right cartridge. The Od.2 came out in 1978, so I'm going to say I started BBSing between 78 and 80. -- Clark "not an old fart, you young whippersnapper!" in Georgia -- You are currently subscribed to the "R/C Tank Combat" group.
