When they were making the 1982 'Tron' Digital Effects in NYC was doing 
some of the CGI. The day's work would be sent to CA via modem overnight. I 
forget how many hours were required for a few seconds of animation. 

I think you can stream it on Prime for a couple of bucks. It should be 
good for laughs if nothing more.

About the same era I was hooking up to a BBS in Boston with an acoustic 
coupler. High tech!
