Private pilot license

Um, hmmm. Just dawned on me that perhaps they didn't exist? Hey, folks, was Usenet here (as we know it now) in '94? I jumped in around '98-ish.

It was there and alive long before that.
And it did have a very, very lively pilot group.

It may be of interest to you that on Compuserve (something like AOL way
back in the 80ies and 90ies; was bought by AOL) the very very first
chatroom was one installed by pilots for pilots.... but that was a
while ago...

How does one go about researching their own posting records? I really don't
remember when I started, and would like to find out.

Compuserve! Now *there* is a blast from the past.

Remember "Prodigy"? Owned by Sears, Roebuck, of all people! That was my
first venture into the on-line world...

IIRC, there was another competitor of Prodigy and CompuServe around then but
can't think of its name. It used Gopher searches. Also, BBS's were big back
then and some of them would sync their messages together nightly using Fido
net. Most would run on 1,200 bps, some were only 300 but the 'good' ones
supported 2,400. Most could only have one person dial in at a time.

- I miss my 300bps dial-up modem. (yeah, right...)

My first computer and modem cost me about $1,800. It had no
hard drive, a 720 KB floppy and 1.2 MB of RAM and a 4.7 MHz
16 bit processor. The modem was a WorldPort external on the
serial port at 2400 bps but it did have compression and
could get 4800 bits. It was DOS only but WORKS 2.0 ran on
it.

GEnie.

Its downfall was aladdin, a program you could use for unatttended
downloads of message boards and such. The name was cute, but the
program got long in the tooth and there would be no competitors as GEnie
was enamored of the name.

oh yeah...compuserve! I think they were my first online foray, back in
about 1984? 300 baud modem in my atari 400, long distance phone
charges....I still remember playing LOTS of megawars! hehehe
I had several different accounts with them over the years, even found
the local number

I was also pretty active on GEnie. In fact, shortly before my 10th
anniversary with them, they got bought by another company who made an
abrupt and arbitary (sp?) change to an internet provider. dropped them
just a few days before my 10th.

After that, I was dragged kicking and screaming into the internet age...
