I recall a friend of mine from junior high who had an Amiga and my other geek friends marveled at his graphics! I recall the times when another friend and I would spend time on our local BBS. There was a guy in my junior high school who was proud of the fact that he could gain access to nudie pics via modem; he was thrilled that it took only half an hour receive and print a centerfold on his B&W dot matrix printer.
