300 Baud? Trash-80? That sounds about right. Probably was happy when SLIP was implemented, and overjoyed at PPP on a Tandy 1200. ;)
Wonder if she started with Prodigy or CompuServe?

(OK, I'm showing my own age...)

*blink* Just remembered I had a Prodigy account. Also a Delphi account.

Fellas, there was NOTHING on the web in the Delphi days.
