Got you beat Mike. This one is from a bit before my time, so I got to go to my grand ma for this one, she is gone now but I can remember he talking about the internet. In those days it wasn't called the internet it was called DARPA net and there was no forums such as this one back on her days. She used to talk about using the one and only DARPA protocol called FTP, which was all there was in those days. FTP was used to list things and send files back and forth between computers, we are talking 1930's and 40's here so we are talking old school. For an example of what she was talking about try ftp://ftp.mozilla.org/pub this site is all FTP and that's it. You ant to talk about old school internet april hair, this is it.
