There really isn't anything like it now. It's from a time when there were not a lot of applications out there any people had to DIY their own tools. Like a database for a repair shop. Now people have spreadsheets with tons of features or small niche apps. Then there are the big cloud apps like SaleForce and Quickbooks.

I tried to google but only found this from 2002.

The TelePort Gold II came in at a speedy 14.4 Kbps. It came with my Macintosh Performa.

Was having problems as well, but the language setting worked.

I was going to say that AE2 is the original with the lore of alien tech falling from the sky. I know AE2 can be a little much, but I like it.

That doesn't test for their ability to meaningfully contribute to a discussion group. There would never be a robust group of woodworkers because the grandpa with years of professional woodworking experience has been excluded for using iPad. It will always be a group of tech focused people discussing woodworking.
