Yep! I also remember when an ordering window opened online for certain items. Within seconds you'd be among thousands of others whose connection froze due to the heavy traffic. So you'd retry the order, often by repeat hits of the PLACE ORDER button. Sometimes you got lucky, but usually you'd have to start all over again. It was frantic at best. And then the infamous message......item is sold out!Starting a download when you went to bed and hoped it didn't error out!
Oh man, I remember playing Airborne Ranger and Aliens with a C64 I found while moving when I was in the early teens. Good times!Newbs. I had a Commodore 64 in 1980, then an ibm pc jr in 1980 when you had to set your phone on the internet receiver ( it was called compuserve). I also had an HBO box that sat on top of my 13 channel tv that you had to switch on. Back then HBO came on at 8pm, showed 2 movies then went off.
