user 70611,3101 password "sleeve!coast"<p>Last login: circa 1988<p>I'm stunned that that's still in my brain. I never would have remembered it my brain not been able to pattern match against the ID number in the article.

Anyone else have Q-Link as their first online service provider? For Commodore computers, and in the early 90s it became AOL...

Being on Compuserve with a blazing fast 140 baud modem was expensive. My buddy being busted for plagiarizing a paper from Compuserve in 1986..Priceless.

Didn't they own the GIF patent? Wonder what happened to that - expired, hopefully? Not fondly remembered.
