[AusNOG] Blast from the past - 1994 connect.com.au brochure

[Damien Gardner Jnr]

And the scary thing is, that's not a 'bad' price for back then.. I was
paying $400/month to Netconnect for 14.4k dialup at that time.  Then I
discovered TID plus exchange-based diversions, and did a two-hop dialup
bouncing through an EBD in harcourt, to get to Bendigo.   Dropped my dialup
costs to ~$200/month!

We rode on the winds of the rising storm,
 We ran to the sounds of thunder.
We danced among the lightning bolts,
 and tore the world asunder
