Delphi! I forgot about that one! I think it was my very first internet provider (of sorts). Dang, ran on my DOS-powered Tandy 1000...

I first went online from Vashon Island in the summer of '81... TRS-80, hardwired 300 baud ( yea, I know it sounds antideluvian, but compared to a teletype's 60 words per minute, it blazed... ) modem, and terminal program on a cassette.

First BBS I logged on to was some kind of General Aviation thing, not my line, but the first time I saw "e-mail" mentioned.

I still remember the little eerie prickle I felt the first time I logged on to CIS with their

I'll bet you probably still have a link to that site ; )

Ah, the days of XMODEM, YMODEM, ZMODEM and Kermit.

Mustang and Wildcat BBS could run on my 286/16 with a whopping 512k of RAM and a 30MB HD.

Now I have digital photo RAW files larger than that first hard drive.
