He bought a Mac, but all it had was Word and one game.

I have seen modifications for eighties tech with SSDs and Internet
access.

He just needed to access a BBS and then he could have had some contact
with the outside world, right?

He only rated the Mac 5/10:  [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IhJmm2t5

Yeah he could've got sure used a bbs to communicate. I would have
suggested a PC for this experience. Also... He missed one of my
favorite things from the era.. Freaking Nintendo.

Radio still works like it use to.  Other than that, the best way to
see what was going on out in the world was to leave the house.
