Maybe, but it also really sucked. You could only get to it from a desktop when the phone line wasn't tied up. The best possible connection was crazy slow. There would be days-long outages for no apparent reason, with no way to figure out what was going on. There was no wikipedia, no stack overflow, no GitHub, no cloud hosting, no readthedocs, no dockerhub.
It was bad.

Imagine writing a web browser when the only reference you have on the HTTP and HTML standards is a book. Someone had to write the first TCP/IP implementation without the help of the Internet. How was the first debugger written without a debugger?
