My college internet?

A VAX system.

I'm fucking old.

― John Justen says Toonces was one of the most talented cats on televison (johnjus, Tuesday, 21 November 2006 01:43 (nineteen years ago)

Was it a real old VAX or just something running VMS like an Alpha or a MicroVAX

― roc u like a § (ex machina), Tuesday, 21 November 2006 01:46 (nineteen years ago)

I don't remember, but it would have been about 1991.

There were real "computers" in the computer labs, but the satellite labs had vax terminals only (from what I can see from looking at vax shit, I'm thinking they might have been VT62's?)

That's what I get for going to a hoity-toity expensive midwestern college, I suppose.

― John Justen says Toonces was one of the most talented cats on televison (johnjus, Tuesday, 21 November 2006 01:57 (nineteen years ago)

The only computer I used in the college was for looking up stuff on library catalogs, I think.

I was using netscape until 1-2 years ago, I don't remember. I think I told Ian when I finally changed.

I used IE today. My cellphone provider (or however you wanna call it) said I had to use IE to register for an email account. I'm pretty sure my place has some sort of camera installed so all the geeks can laugh at me when I fail yet again.

one year at university i didn't have money for internet so i used hyperterminal to dial into the campus system and ran lynx

(this was a few years before wifi took off)

― a.b. (alanbanana), Wednesday, 22 November 2006 02:19 (nineteen years ago)

HyperTerminal was such a shit terminal emulator

― roc u like a § (ex machina), Wednesday, 22 November 2006 16:18 (nineteen years ago)

My internet access from like 1996-1999 was obtained by dialing into an unsecured cisco used by the local library network and starting ppp

Thanks taxpayers

agreed.

― otto midnight (otto midnight), Wednesday, 22 November 2006 16:21 (nineteen years ago)

in, like, 1996/97 i used to used telnet (or some other thing?) to 'chat' at the school library. i don't even remember how i got into that. i had totally forgotten about it.

― rrrobyn, breeze blown meadow of cheeriness (rrrobyn), Wednesday, 22 November 2006 16:25 (nineteen years ago)

and email was pine
and browsing was lynx or mosaic

― rrrobyn, breeze blown meadow of cheeriness (rrrobyn), Wednesday, 22 November 2006 16:26 (nineteen years ago)

pine is still a good email program. I never liked Mutt.

They're making a sequel to pine that will have a web, terminal and gui version of the same program:

if there's Linux and OS/X ports, I may use it
