Always curious to read about things televisual from before my time. Even bought a two disc Muffin The Mule DVD set once. Now with Youtube you can check out a lot of old tv easily.

Now I'll really feel old. 29... and I was gearing up to quit smoking just after I turned 30, which I did and have never smoked since! I would've been working at a flowers/plants and produce shop.

I first 'logged on' via an external stand-alone modem you hung the telephone receiver onto. This was circa 1982-83 and both times some kind of Commodore PC... either Vic-20 or 64. One was at school, when they had just one for the whole school. This was in western Canada.
