We could also retreat to semi abandon forms of proto internets, BBSs and Usenet posting! You can even pirate video games on Usenet!

My experience dates back to those same years. When BBSs were the way to exchange a lot of software, usenet news groups were full of useful information before the web and IRC meant Internet Relay Chat which were the first live chat rooms of the internet.

I was using local BBSs even earlier, circa '81 or 82. My first modem was a classic 300-baud "acoustic coupler" with rubber cups for the telephone handset. Nowadays those are sold as collectors' items. Wish I'd kept mine as a nostalgic souvenir of those times.
