[cctalk] Re: Ward Christensen NY Times Obituary

Had a contracting job in Italy late 1989. Introduced the client to CompuServe. I was part of Team Toshiba at the time. We used the local dial up number but had problems. Somewhere along the line it was discovered we could somehow connect directly to the packet network. We started doing that. We stopped when the first bill arrived. It was 5 digits USD. 😊
