In theearly 1980s, in the US, yep. You could download a copy of the 20c print edition of the NYT which would take maybe 5 hours at $5 an hour. By the time I was using it in the UK in the mid 1990s it was about £10 a month with phone call charges on top. -- Alan Bourke alanpbourke (at) fastmail (dot) fm _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: ProFox@leafe.com Subscription Maintenance: https://mail.leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: https://mail.leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: https://leafe.com/archives This message: https://leafe.com/archives/byMID/e82147ec-b398-4a3f-83b6-b6d77d3e3...@www.fastmail.com ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
