Started BBSing sometime around 1987-88 in the Toronto area.

I remember we had a 1200baud internal Zoltrix modem in a PC-XT (20mb HD and 640k of RAM). We reached 14.4 USRobotics in the XT before we upgraded to a 486DX-2 that allowed us to get to a 56k USR modem.

My first IP was in '92(ish) - at 56k dialup. Nutscrape Navigator was on four 3.5" floppy disks at the time.

Usenet newsgroups were all the rage back then. Anyone remember the UUencode'ing?
