    Around here, all the cool kids had @netcom.com accounts, and that became a requirement for cool.

    What is that?

    Netcom was a shell provider - you'd dial into a *nix shell. Not sure what
    they used back then...

    You'd have Elm and PINE for email, tin for news, and gopher clients. And
    FTP. A tilde web space if you were lucky (http://netcom.com/~username)

    ICG becomes Level 3, someone aquired someone else and it all became something else at some point.
