14.4k/28.8k Robotic modems.... squeezing as much bandwidth as you can thru a frickin straw...
Lots of sleepless nights downloading such things as linux v0.1 in 1.44mb chunks that took an hour for each chunk....
Games that you logged in at 11:30pm, nuked a player, logged out, relogged in, nuked the poor guy again at 12:01....
Modem banks of 10(or more)
Commodore 64's running wildcat on cd-rom jukebox machines(I had 5 bay ones)
Wildcat! WildCat!
RoboboardFX, a GUI driven bbs that kinda looked like windows.
Phone bills.... getting people to stay and pay....
Then the AOL cd's started showing up in the mail in droves... things started going downhill from there...
