Re: TI-H: I know I'm going to regret this...




AOL used to be called Quantum BBS (or some such); back then I believe it was 
all text.  No, strike that - I remember now - it was text and RIP :)  
Remember RIP?

Good question, probably around '89 or so.  AOL was actually in
business then (for about 4 years), but local access numbers were
not available in the small town where I lived.  That was ok tho, neither
the Kaypro, Epson, or TRS-80 were capable of running the
GeoWorks windowing system anyway :)

Did AOL ever use a non-windoing client?  The first time I saw it
it used GeoWorks, which required a basic VGA mode.

The first time I encountered the web was in '93, about 3 years
after it had its start.

I think IRC was around since about '89 too, but only moved to
the internet around '92 or '93.  I didn't encounter it until around
'95 I think.
