  • @howardkevinm Yep you are right, It used to cost me about $60 month on dial up here in Australia using my 14.4 external Modem ;) Prior to 1995 it cost me nothing to go online except the cost of a local call to access a BBS to download something from someone's Computer within my City ;)

  • this was probably way back when dial up probably cost $50/month or more.
