Was it fascinating? Did it feel like the amazing future? Were you all too aware of the mounting cost relative to what you were actually doing?

I actually met my second husband on CompuServe. We both were members of the Adventure game forum and knew each other by name from there.

A few years later, a friend of mine had a birthday party on ICQ for my (now) husband when I was separated and here we are 24 years later.

CompuServe is where I got to get my adventure and crpg fix
