    One such "party" site is drudgereport. On 2 occasions recently, drudgereport pushed that crap to my Mac. I promptly trashed it but that's sleazy of Drudge to do such a thing and I ain't goin' back no time soon.

  25. Re:Nostalgia never made sense to me on Telehack Re-Creates the Internet of 25 Years Ago · · Score: 1

    In the mid nineties ('93 as I remember) I had a dial-in-terminal account with APANA (Australian Public Access Network Association, I think they're still around). I used the Terminal programme in Windows 3.0 on a 286 and logged in via a 1200 baud modem to a BSD box. I could use Usenet, E-mail, Archie, WAIS, FTP and Lynx for that newfangled WWW stuff. Cost was $100/year for access so not too expensive. At least we had a rudimentary menu system rather than just a prompt.
