Indeed, it was the case in deed. The first computers I used didn't even have internet capabilities. They used floppy disks with a few KB of data. Although all the computer could do is have the user type in commands through CMD as there was no windows back then.

Haha, when the internet was something everyone had access to it was very simple indeed and was barely anything useful. In the late 90's things like AIM and other instant messaging systems came out and that is when the explosion of the internet happened.

Glad to have someone who remembers the past, it is always good to learn from history.
