Yeah, I heard the stories handed down from my great grand parents when they were crossing the Oregon Trail in covered wagons posting on FR. Of course the internet was really really slow. They were still on dial-up back then. AOL (American Oregon Landline) was their ISP and it sucked. They kept getting these AOL discs for their computer via Pony Express. They'd sit around the camp fire at night and talk about what was on Free Republic and who posted what. here's a photo from back then.
