@Oma_Trisha I started out on a dial-up bbs called GEnie which was GE making use of its extra bandwidth and servers to provide online access, first to its employees then the general public. From there I also joined Prodigy, Compuserve, and AOL. For a while my internet bills exceeded my mortgage. Thank gawd for broadband!! Whenever I hear the modem handshake sound effect now days it brings back some serious memories 😄
