My parents bought the computer during the summer after I graduated elementary school. Upon starting Jr. High many some of my nerdy friends taught me how to use the modem. I spent countless hours dialing up Bulletin Board Systems (BBS), often running one or two nodes on separate phone numbers in someone's garage. This was how I was first exposed to the internet in 1995 when I found a BBS that acted as a gateway to its services. Everything was text based, everyone was well behaved and the idea that you wouldn't have to use a dial up modem to connect with others online seemed like a fantasy. Before email every really took off hundreds of thousands of users used FidoNet which saved messages then later dailed up other BBS's in overlaying area codes. It would take up to a month to get your message half way across the world, and it was fascinating!
