I remember bringing home my powerful Commodore - 64 to replace my pitiful Commodore Vic 20. I had a 300 baud modem that was not even an autodial. It was technically illegal to use the modem since I did not call the phone company and register it. I got on Compuserve and ordered a pair of jeans in the early 80s. That was my first on-line purchase.
i had one and we too had compuserve..we had no idea what to do with it. it wasnt until 1990 when i went to college at a highly technical school that actually conducted an entire semester's class via email....

i still have all my C64 floppy discs including those coveted code breaking programs that you could use to copy games from friends. i wonder if they even work and what i can do with them? ive never had the heart to toss em in the trash
