"first" computer on the internet

[Chris M]

remember GeNiE (however it was spelled)? I sure don't, but I do know a guy who developed a pretty impressive MODULA-2 app to run on a '286 w/any number of "4 port" cards (these typically were 80186 based). It had massive capabilities if you were to ask me. The service provider opted out though, and preferred to make use of a rather expensive mini they had just purchased.
