Yes, I remember CRS, my first Internet e-mail account
was via them, colin.mcgregor-IGXxzrTDBvzQT0dZR+AlfA at public.gmane.org . Later on I
worked with CRS founder Jud Newell (after he had left
CRS) in the early days of the Toronto Free-Net. In
doing a Google search I double cheched on one of those
half remembered events (i.e.: was it at convention X
or Y that I did A, B, and C). Any event in 1992 at the
World Science Fiction Convention in Orlando Florida I
attended an @ party. To attend the party you had to
have a valid e-mail address with an "@" sign, which at
the time made it semi-exclusive (now days who wouldn't
have such an e-mail address?). Anyway it was my
canrem.com address that got me into that party :-) .
As for modems, I paid $499 for a 9,600 bps modem
(OUCH!!! but it seemed like a good deal at the
time...).
