Now you got me! Atari ST! I was responsable of the Montreal Atari Club BBS when it was on
8 bit and 16 bit. Still play a few games on my ST emulator.. Remember when we ware able to
simulate a MAC with a few roms and a ST? 😉
OK, back to our regular programing. Think we got back way too far on memory lane for this
mailing list 😉

Objet : Re: [44net] An apology for the Internet from the people who built it
Trumpet Winsock :-)
I Installed Windows NT on my 386/40MHz (some 35 3.5
floppy disks) which
barely run on it, but had the necessary dialup software just to download
Trumpet Winsock to use it afterwards on Win 3.1 on the same machine
(only some 15 disks to reinstall)...
Later came Win 3.11 which had a TCP/IP + Internet explorer 3 addon which
made Trumpet Winsock and Mozaic obsolete.
That where times...
When I got access to "the Internet" (of course via dialup modem too) I already
had a running Linux system with native TCP/IP networking.
I installed that in december 1992 on a 486/33 MHz with 16MB RAM.
And a QIC cartridge tapedrive, so no messing with floppies.
The internet became available for the general public in 1993 here, I joined in 1994.
But of course I had been using TCP/IP since 1988 using KA9Q NET on the Atari ST.
