That's another thing I remember and miss from
those days... your average
ISP would provide NNTP and UNIX shell accounts, as well as a few megs of
space to put up a personal web site in ~/public_html.
I still read Usenet newsgroups via GNUS under Emacs on my shell account on
Panix, an ISP located in Manhattan, and have a small web site hosted there
as well:

Some things are too important to relegate to a web browser.
