It was a 14.4k modem which we used to access CompuServe. I don't remember much about using CompuServe, other than the fact it was really slow. They had these different... groups or something? I don't know. Oddly, I'm more familiar with the early days of AOL, which I used at a friend's house because he lived in the future with his 56k! We'd hang out in the chat rooms and trade warez and mp3s (when they were still considered warez) and, of course, porn. One thing I'll never forget is this one time we were in an AOL chat room and someone said "IM me." And we thought they were saying "I'm me." It was so confusing! Once we upgraded to 56k at home, I'd rush home to play Doom online with a classmate. It was awesome!
