Computers, modems, BBSes, and Warez
It was one big party from the C64 days until the internet took over.
Great times

I was a SysOp in the early 90s my first modem was 2400bps and when I stopped the BBS and moved to AOL to get TCP/IP in '94 I had a 14.4k v.32bis. While plenty of people downloaded porn images that size or bigger from my adult directories it's not unreasonable to claim the 5 minutes it would have taken to transfer my Torment Costanza image at 2400bps wouldn't have been worth it, the 3.16k thumbnail would have transferred in only 10 seconds during which you probably could have read my post and began formulating your clever reply. Knock that down to a blistering 1.7 seconds at 14.4v.32 who could possibly come up with such comedy in that amount of time? Truly, the future was here.

Has it ever occured to you the reason that 4chan is disproportionately crawling with third worlders is precisely because they don't have the high speed internet required to use other websites?
