My first ISP was prairienet.org back in Illinois (1993 - 1994). It was
an organization funded by the U of I that was pretty popular back in the
day. I'd dial up with the 2600 baud modem on my new laptop and telnet
into their menu system. I remember the day Andrew showed me a backdoor
in the menu system that gave you shell access (although I had no clue
what to type, but it seemed cool). Ah, the chess servers, gopher, pine,
and the text-based web.

P.S. I have to admit that Andrew was the one that got me started with
computers. And to think I used to call him a nerd...
