How was the internet first invented without the internet?
In: 0
This was before what we know as the internet,
I worked on a open source project back in the late 80’s, early 90’s called TunaNet, It was an open access email/message system. We were trying to have a chain of bbs owners in every area code, so we could link together (one by one over a phone line) and send emails to people in other states. We originally were trying to get enough people so there wouldn’t be any long distance charges, but around the same time the phone company (C&P for me locally) changed the long distance billing without really notifying us. So we all ended up quickly amassing these huge phone bills. Mine broke about 400$ for a month, which shut the whole project down for me and a few others.
The program was running on Apple ][e/c/gs’s at the time, it eventually moved on to PC and was picked up by a college in Florida, from what I remember.
