And who in Europe did? Not only was the equipment expensive (had to work all Summer for a 33.6 modem), but the fucking greedy national telecoms would charge by “impulses” which were of arbitrary time length, racking up exorbitant telephone bills. No wonder only the elite could afford to do it, if one did not have a Bluebox or calling card numbers, one was screwed.
True, I remember that we already had calling cards when we were mailtraders and pupils. It was actually easier for us to get into possession of that than purchasing a decent modem.

Oracool! nice music nice logo what isn’t there to like
Simple intro, good music, bad scrollfont 🙂 But for some reason I also liked Oracle “back in the day”, even if most of their intros were very simple (Caddy’s dotcube intro was probably the best that Oracle used).
no slow 2400 lamers
heh, I did not even own a modem in 1989!

I always like Oracle products too. Kind of no-nonsense group 😉

Oracool.. one of my favorite groups!
Not too much code here and I’m not too much of a fan of the main scroller font but hey, nice enough 🙂
You never go wrong with “Shades” =D
Love the tune! What strikes me now is that Oracle liked to use the grid + logo combination 🙂
