I remember when DSL was launched in my hometown by the telecom, windows 95, I opened network neighborhood and saw the hospitals and doctors offices patient records shares. They filtered that in a month or so.

I was on the waitlist for 2 years, and finally got it. Gotta love new tech at the time.

lol, I remember seeing network share docs for my town. A packet sniffer also gave me just a bunch of passwords because we were effectively on the same switch. It was wild.
That was the thing that really drove home how the Internet was unexpected for Microsoft; they simply had no conception of a network connection that wasn't a LAN. Of course everything else would go through something else ...
