Sneakernet was common also. Say you have a class of 30 kids, and one of them has access to Usenet to grab qcrack.zip. He'll put it on a floppy disk and share ;)

yeah, software travelled exactly the same way as rumours that such and such had a rib removed - remarkably effectively.

Also the same way we got viruses, long before anyone I knew had the Internet.

    Haha, I remember that rumour being told to me by classmates back in the day. Great example.
