Do you remember when you purchased your first home computer? What was your first internet service provider?
My first computer was an Apple II that I bought in 1980. I sold it a year later when the IBM PC came out. My first Internet provider was a small local ISP in the Mid-Hudson Valley. idsi.net that I signed up with sometime in the early 1990's. Most of those small, independent ISP's are gone now. Now I get Internet through my cable company (Optimum in NY and Comcast here).
