SERIOUS PART: Debate and personal opinions are allowed. Bigotry, trolling, and discrimination toward others are not.

I’ve always been curious if it was well known that Myers wouldn’t be in it? Was there a big disappointment around that?

I have to ask, how old were you in 1983?

Do you know how many people have pc's at that time?

Do you know how many had access to a modem and usenet at that time?

I do. The answer is basically no one.

I was at a very expensive private school in '83 and our school didn't even have any usenet access and forget about the students.

If you were not at a major university the internet and usenet did not exist until about a decade later.

I remember it really landing big and blowing minds at university in 1992. Even a year or so earlier and you were lucky if there was even a crude form of internal network.
