I remember going to a Commodore club meeting and meeting a guy that had just bought his Commodore 64. He had no programs and was looking to find out where to get them. He did have a modem, and we exchanged phone numbers.
When we got home I called him and gave hime two lings to a program to type in. He did, and ran that program. That allowed me to upload a real terminal program to his computer. He could then run the terminal program to visit the many local BBSs in the area. He thought I was a super genius, but it was just what someone else figured out.
We sent Fido mail to each other and it was some of my first email. We both only had floppy disc readers but he made a funny but embarrassing typo. He meant to ask me if I yet had a hard disk, but he typed hard dick. I about fell on the floor laughing, and when he saw his typo, he avoided me from then on as he was so embarrassed. It was not until I got my 4.7 MHz PC that I bought the 10 mb hard disc.
