Re: The Apple ][ was crap

[sloopy malibu <sloopy@amishinfo.com>]

i would use a friends account from university of delware... he wasnt much
of a computer person so didnt really use it... and back then i probly used
'rn' or something similar... (15 years ago i was 15 so i dont rem alot...)
i mostly got on to the atari usenet forum, and predominetly just ftp'd
software... usenet wasnt as active as it is today... you have to remember
the internet wasnt always the porn wasteland it is now...

(and just for the record i didnt use an apple to get online i used an atari
800 with a atari 850 serial interface and a atari 835 acoustic modem...
those were the days :')

any other questions?
