Wow, this brings back memories. Back in 1991, I was freshly into a cal state college in the Los Angeles area. We had access to the entire cal state AppleTalk network, which included a bunch of high schools as well. That AppleTalk zone list had hundreds of networks in it all up and down California.
Around 1992/93, I started working for a department in school that had it's own budget and lots of money. The head of the department loved Apple. I built out Mac labs and networking and had us hooked onto all of this.
It was a bit of this whole hidden world and quite fun in the pre-internet explosion days. Mind you, this was all back before Windows even had a native tcp/ip stack, so it felt even more us vs. them isolated.

- latchkey 3y agoCSUDH. I didn't get good grades in school so that was about the only place I could go. They have a velodrome that I could train on and I got small scholarships for cycling. It turns out going there was the best thing I could possibly do for my future career in tech. Definitely not the best place to be during the riots though.
