Subject: Quantum Link Remembered - Getting online in 1985
Dear TPUG,
I am writing to inform you about an article I have created about
Quantum Link, an online service that was available in the US & Canada
from 1985 to 1994.
https://www.tinytickle.co.uk/quantum-link/
Quantum Link, originally available on the Commodore 64 computer,
offered and pioneered many of the features we are used to having on
the modern internet, such as e-mail, instant messagaing, shopping and
chat rooms - to name a few.
Quantum Link also featured the ground breaking game Habitat by
Lucasfilm's, the first graphical massively multiplayer online game.

Q-Link was also made available on Apple & IBM compatible PCs from 1988.
I was wondering if you could add a link from your website (tpug.ca) to
the piece to help spread knowledge of the influential, but now largely
forgotten, Quantum Link service. The article has proven popular on
social media, and I thought that it would be of interest to your
readers. Any mention you could make on social media would also be
fantastic.
Any corrections, feedback or comments you may have on the piece would
be greatly appreciated, either by email or via the comments form on
the webpage itself.
Thanks for your time.
Kind Regards
David Wilding
