SparkS, Quantum Link had games you could play. They had an online casino (no real money involved, just some kind of tokens), and an MMORPG of sorts. I forget what it was called, but you could wander around a virtual world, interact with other players, and buy and trade things including different heads for your avatar! You could buy a shovel and bury things, or dig up stuff other people buried. No leveling or combat, though.
CSI, I seem to remember that for a short while after they first came out, some CDs at least came in protective cases. You’d shove the whole case into a slot, and the drive would remove the CD from the case for you so you never had to touch the CD.
My first computer was a Sinclair ZX-81 with 1K of memory! I eventually upgraded to a Commodore Vic-20, and then a Commodore 64. Programs were saved on cassette tape before Commodore came out with a disk drive. My first modem was 300 baud; it seemed as if I could almost type as fast as the modem could download. The first commecial online service I was on was Quantum Link, which was strictly for Commodore computers. I never had as much fun with an online service as I did with Quantum Link. When I finally moved up to a PC, it had a whopping 640K of memory, and a 5MB hard drive.
