Back in them days, y'all used GOPHER to find stuff and there weren't none of this fancy Web crappie - even your email was something called PINE that was all text, and if you wanted porn by gawd you accessed the USENET. Nowadays you kids think nothin' of just downloading some movie or 500 billion crapass Nellie songs, but back then if you wanted even a dang picture it was an overnight thing and half the time it came out all scroobled up and you couldn't tell if it was Sharon Stone nekkid or autopsy pictures from Roswell 1947 - I tell you true!

CUUG here too, and also CIA which was a calgary based company which you'd use their computers to browse the net, it was a weird system, but ultimately failed.
