What's the
challenge in that?  I was online with my Apple //e in 1992. 
 I've used my Mac SE
(1988) online, but not in 1988!  I could put it
 back online now if I dug the modem out of the bits box. 
 
So what?
I (and MANY others) were doing Source and Compuserve before 1980 on
TRS80s and Apple ][s.   It's not THAT long ago that 300 baud was the
FAST speed.
