I remember programming back in the 80s (yes, I know I'm old - thanks ;-) and we used to have to post, in the physical mail, floppy disks with sourcecode to one another across Europe to see what we were working on.

It was actually kind of exciting getting an envelope from somewhere 'exotic' like Sweden in the post and seeing what people were doing :-)

Also - having one phone in the house, usually in the hallway, that had a notepad (for missed call details etc) and paper addressbook next to it. Ah, the olden days... ;-)

I did the same in the early nineties. We declared the letters as books to save stamp money :)
