Quoted from ForceFlow:For many years, people did participate in the hobby without the Internet before it was widespread. But yes, the Internet has helped facilitate a great many things.
Back in the 80's, sources were few and far between... I primarily shopped for machines at a route operator/distributor in Edison, NJ, classified ads in the paper, word of mouth. Got parts from Wico (in Fairfield,NJ I think).
Now, just sitting on my butt in the living room, I have access to orders of magnitude more info and machines. It's a great big beautiful tomorrow...
