Can anybody beat this?
I started back on COMPUSERVE (remember them?) back in 1985. I was using a TRS-80 model 4 with 128K of RAM and a 4mHz Z80 CPU 2 single-sided 184K 5&1/4 floppy drives and an external 300 baud (0.3K) modem.
I actually purchased some model train cars from a hobby shop in the "mall".
It was all text-only and the nearest "portal" was in Rapid City, SD about 350 miles away, yep, long distance.
I moved up to a Tandy 1000 (8088) and later a 1000TX (80286 & a 20 meg HD) with internal 1200 baud modems, man was that fast!
