Instead of "here are several paragraphs of text explaining the context and framework of our work" I'm reviewing papers that are "I have broken my work up into paragraphs and each paragraph is a subsection with its own heading and contains multiple boldfaced words in case you didn't catch that I was referencing other peoples' work".

I had to dial into a VAX, and all I could do was telnet to other sites. So I would telnet to a "gopher site" (really a gopher client that was publicly available via telnet) to browse the internet. I didn't have ftp access, and many gopher sites didn't have sz installed, but boombox . micro . umn . edu was one of the few, and through that I was able to download FreeBSD and other stuff.
Shortly after that, I found slirp and a local free net provided free shell and so I used that.
