The Rise and Fall of the Dial-Up Industry
There was a dial-up business that was Prodigy and Josh Harris was doing chat rooms on Prodigy while he would rent an hour on WVD 50 or something in New York. He would get paid by the Prodigy people to keep people in chatroom because they were paying three dollars per hour to be online there's no flat rate yet. The web browsers at the time didn't have background colors it was one font you can make text flash or do other stupid stuff but you know it was very nascent and early.
