What a great article! My first computer was an Apple II+ (I was working at Wang Laboratories back then as a COBOL programmer). When I finally upgraded to the 286 I was ftp'ing files (games)from funnet.fi. To download files I used Archie, Veronica or Jughead (yes, they ftp'ing software). Since there was no web, you didn't know what you were getting (you had to go by the file names)until you ran the downloded files. Yep... so much has changed. And it's been a real blast to have been along for the ride.
