Anyone remember gopherspace and using Archie and Veronica. . .

I can also remember using TIN to read usenet before there was the www, and shortly after the www came about, I remember using email to www gateways. You could email a request for a webpage or file, and the webpage would be delivered to your email box.

Those were the days 🙂

It had to re-draw the entire page if you clicked on anything and took forever to do it.

Archie and Veronica rocked. It was fun to search the great unknown, you never knew what you would find.


I remember telenting into unknown Mainframes on the net.

I only used Archie a few times since I remember it being pretty slow.

When I first got email it was on a Unix box, using elm. There were four of us at work who got email, out of 1,000 employees. Email sent to <my_first_name>@company.com still gets to me.

I remember when characters came across a modem connection one at at time,lol, 🙂

I remember using reader programs to d/load text messages to read/reply to offline because connection time was so expensive.
