And, I thought the 56bk/sec leased line I bought to connect my whole company 
to the internet in 1993 was Old School! I think it was $6K/year ports costs 
plus the cost of the line. We had about 100 people on it at the time, but 
only a third of that knew what the internet was, Flash hadn't been invented 
yet, and email was still plaintext, for the most part.

Hindsight is always 20/20. I should have stuffed a BBS box in the server 
room and gone telnet back then.
