I think the internet was in place before there were any PC's (1980?) - I and everyone else (at UC Berkeley anyway) visited the Usenet from terminals connected to mainframe machines.
My firsthand memories of the internet date from the early '80s, when I had an academic computer account which led me to Usenet. That was essentially a bb with >100 discussion groups. I remember when a Unix system admin plotted a marvelous map of the entire internet on a huge piece of paper, circa 1985. It showed the sites, hubs and connecting paths - overwhelmingly universities, contracting labs and the computer divisions of some large tech companies.
Don't know if this is interesting. I guess it's off topic, I'm just trying to portray the online community as it was when this stuff was first being considered. For what it's worth, this board is one of the best, all things considered, thanks to y'all!
