I can remember arriving in Calgary post-University for full time work and going down to the CADVision office downtown to sign up for internet access and to get the software stack needed to get internet - I don't remember if it came on CD or floppy at that point; I feel like it was probably just enough to get connected to CADVision, at which point it pulled down a browser and whatnot from their setup utility.
A different era to be sure.
