I was never much of a computer geek, but I did learn to write dial up and log-in threads on my Apple //c with AE Express. I started delivering digital docs to Popular Mechanics in the early eighties and spent time on some user group servers. I remember one group that was based in Jersey called Washington Apple Tree. Another was the Micronetworked Apple Users Group or MAUG. I think MAUG eventually evolved into Compuserve.
