Well, I was talking to Mary about it. Was it supposed to be
made out to someone else? Why, me, of course... ;-) Ah, well, if she spends it, it's less I have to fork out later -- so it's all good...! -- Jay Honeck Iowa City, IA Pathfinder N56993 www.AlexisParkInn.com "Your Aviation Destination" |

Um, hmmm. Just dawned on me that perhaps they didn't exist? Hey, folks, was Usenet here (as we know it now) in '94? I jumped in around '98-ish. Been here since late 80's. Mom?

news:wsbHf.759917$x96.396114@attbi_s72... Compuserve! Now *there* is a blast from the past. Remember "Prodigy"? Owned by Sears, Roebuck, of all people! That was my first venture into the on-line world... IIRC, there was another competitor of Prodigy and CompuServe around then but can't think of its name. It used Gopher searches. Also, BBS's were big back then and some of them would sync their messages together nightly using Fido net. Most would run on 1,200 bps, some were only 300 but the 'good' ones supported 2,400. Most could only have one person dial in at a time. - I miss my 300bps dial-up modem. (yeah, right...) |

... Delphi? http://www.walthowe.com/navnet/history.html Any help? It must have been CompuServe that I had access to way back then. I wonder if my account there still works. ;-) What was this post originally about??? Oh yeah, someone asking something about a PPL. If you have the desire, money and time then go for it. |

My first computer and modem cost me about $1,800. It had no
hard drive, a 720 KB floppy and 1.2 MB of RAM and a 4.7 MHz 16 bit processor. The modem was a WorldPort external on the serial port at 2400 bps but it did have compression and could get 4800 bits. It was DOS only but WORKS 2.0 ran on it. "Greg B" wrote in message ... | "Jay Honeck" wrote in message | news:wsbHf.759917$x96.396114@attbi_s72... | Compuserve!

That was a big time PC, first here was a TI-99 which I still have. Not even a floppy but a cassette tape. "Jim Macklin" wrote in message news:thjHf.79692$QW2.38366@dukeread08...
