I remember when you could chat online (in my case,
Compuserve) with
 intelligent people...  Umm.. And you only got 20 hours a month. 
I remember TALK and CONFER on UGA's CDC 6600 that kept a loose cadre of
hackers and students chatting around the state circa '81.   Heh...  my
adolescent cybersex days.  ;)
