  1. @evacide We did a lot more than Internet in 1994. We, amongst other things, had a free and unregulated FidoNet, with over 150,000 people around the globe connected, sharing sh*t because we wanted to, and could 😊

    Oh, and in 1992, FidoNet was a transport provider for news from Russia and Glasnost 😎

    All of it by means of PSTN 😉

    I ran two of the earliest #fidonet sites, one at #ByteMagazine and another personal one in my basement. #johnmarkoff and I discovered #tomjennings as he was first hatching the idea of #fido in the early 80s. I was West Coast Bureau Chief for Byte, and John (who had just migrated over from InfoWorld) theoretically worked for me.
