JANET
While I was at university. It was a mainframe with dumb terminals and entirely text-based.
I used it to finger remote sites and talk to girls in America (I cringe at the thought). I emailed friends at other universities. I played MUDS for far too long.
Even then it was a place to meet weird types.
