My experience was that it was incredibly accessible. I easily set up a web server on my home internet connection because my line was synchronous and static IPs were easily available.

I can't believe you can write one after the other.

I don't see how one has to do with the other. Saying that the internet was accessible, and showing that by saying "I just had to set up a server" is insane.

He didn't say he had to, he just said he did it

It would be very healthy anyhow if setting up a server (or any kind of self-hosted service) were less fraught upon, it really is much simpler than many people imagine

As a teen and complete novice it took me 8 ours on a Saturday. What's contradictory about those two statements?

Other than the hurdles that the giants have put in the way it could be incredibly fast today.
