   While the subject is still fresh, how many people here remember the early   
   days of the Asimov FTP site? It used to be quite notorious according to some   
   people.   
      
   The Asimov archive came online around 1995, more than 25 years ago.   
      
   By summer 1996, some Apple II users started calling it a pirate site:

   Quite a few discussions about this, also with Dr. Tom Turley and quantum_cat   
   (who I thought someone once said was an alias of Richard "marinetti"   
   Bennett). But 25 years later, Apple II piracy isn't what it used to be. :-/
