< Does anyone remember the cost of internet access/online time via Compuse
< in the 80s ? I need to give a comparison of today's cost of sending a
< graphics file.

1984 300 baud was 12.50hr connect time.
1986 1200baud was 12.50hr
1991 1200baud was 9.50hr
1994 2400 6.00hr

I may be off some, it's a memory test. Compared to now, very expensive
and graphic files were rarely sent before 86ish though there were
up/downloads.

Oh, internet mail was 1990 and roughly $0.15 a page additional I don't
think sending binaries were possible then.
