What would you do if you woke up an 20 years old at a New Wave Club in 1987?

I'd wonder who slipped me drugs and what kind of drugs they were @_@

Why wait? Dialup was available in the 80s...gosh, I don't know how people afforded it back when it was an hourly charge, though >_<

If I woke up in Manchester, I would go to The Haçienda and dance like crazy until I fainted.

Oh, yes. NSFNET. I always tend to think of 1992 when I think of early-ish dialup, probably because of how the Wikipedia article is worded.

Quote:
Dial-up Internet has been around since the 1980s via public providers such as NSFNET-linked universities and was first offered commercially in July 1992 by Sprint.

I'd assume I listened to the Bowling For Soup song, 1985 too much but got the exact year confused :arrow:

1987 was the year that my parents split up so I don't like that idea much. 1988 was better.
