    Compuserve chat rooms and MUDs. Compuserve used to charge you by the minute in addition to BT charging you by the minute. I racked up a £60 bill and my dad wasn't happy!

    Does compunet on my commodore C64 count? Think that would have been way back in 1986 ish for me. No MSM, no yahoo, no ebay. Think ICPUG were on there, so probably had a look at them.
