"Good old days"? Lol, online experience was more like using a teletype machine and high end graphics was a game of pong. Some things are nostalgic but not necessarily good, I like advancement.

There were bulletin boards in the mid 80's, I was on a few of them. That's about it for the average person.

I don't think "online" even existed back then. Several years later I was dialing in to BBSs with a 1200 baud modem using an IBM PC clone.

I didn't really mean online, as it exists today. I meant being able to connect to a remote server. I thought that, back then, only the government, universities and companies had that ability.
