At some point Microsoft chat allowed sending executable files. This was also around the same time backorifice was very popular.
This was also around the same time most people were connecting via dialup that was bought in packs of 30 hours. Some people had unlimited time, and aparently more than one person could be using the same account at the same time.
Somehow all this events combined made all the internet kids in my neighbourhood get the same court letter with a huge internet bill one year later.
- Loughla 7y agoLooking back, the early days of our internet use were so weird. We had a dial-up connection and a computer well before anyone else in our county/tri-county area in the mid-west. We also had a home line that was a party line. All the old ladies in our small (<50) town were pissed that anytime they picked the phone up, they heard that robotic screeching noise. We were pissed that we kept getting booted every fifteen seconds. Weird times. Why did the company even offer internet connections to a party line? What an odd thing to do.
