When I moved into the Halls of Residence at Canterbury for my first degree in 1991, my weapon of choice for computing was a second hand Apple IIc luggable with a Panasonic 1081 dotmatrix*. Internet via phone line was possible, but difficult, and we mainly did that in the labs at Uni (No individual phones to our rooms, you see.)
The tech now available make me sometimes feel like a Sopwith Camel pilot sitting in the cockpit of a stealth bomber wondering which button to press.
*I managed to sell this to a suck^h^h^hNice young man in 1994 for $500. I didn't feel bad about that for much more than thirty seconds.
