What did you use your computer for, before the internet?

Oh, about the same stuff I do now. Only instead of the Internet it was Compuserve and then later every BBS in Northern NY. Then in college it was dialing in to the mainframe(VAX) and Bitnet. My second semester Bitnet faded out and the College got on this thing called the Internet.
Anyone remember Gopher? Good old Mosaic!

My Amiga ran a BBS for years. If i could go back to those days i would in a heartbeat! the internett is nowhere near as fun.

BBS for me had alot more personal interaction. Though AO comes close.
It was always interesting who was calling in at the same time I was logged on. Some called from some distance.
The local BBS I was the SubOP for the Amiga section. Always nice meeting other users in the area.
A friend I made the day I moved into my college dorm ran a BBS on a C64 and 3 1581 drives. Never expected to meet another C64 user at college, much less two doors down.
