Not crap. I can remember when my resources were not so great and the Internet
was in its humble commecialization beginnings and I was one of few people in
our area with Internet access. Dial-up of course, but once or few times my
phone was disconnected for lack of payment, but because of packet radio and
the N0ARY bbs and packet gateway into the Internet I could still do Internet
e-mail. Slower yes, but still effective. Packet radio was an aid to the now
existing Internet and hams have always been involved.
