Tri-State Online (Cincinnati's Old Freenet Site)
I've been thinking today about my first forays onto the internet and Cincinnati's place in the Freenet world, Tri-State Online. It was hosted at U.C. with a tso.uc.edu domain address for the emails. It was funded, as I remember, by Cincinnati Bell.
It was originally text base, although I can't remember if it ever made the jump to what the internet looks like today. There were various forums and discussion was often lively, something we're used to here.
It shut down on June 30, 1999 just prior to Cincinnati Bell beginning their first Zoomtown service. The rest is, as they say, history.
So anyone else around here an alum of TSO?
