Santa went Online in 1986 and got Trolled (2018x67)

: 22, 2018

As strange as it seems, Santa (Father Christmas to us in the UK), was actually online before most other people. In fact, during 1983 Santa was already electronically sending and receiving Christmas letters via. electronic mail. In 1986, he opened his electronic arms to the UK, via. Telecom Gold and MicroLink, which allowed people to communicate over Bulletin Boards using their home micros and a modem. The thing is, some of the messages which Santa received during this time, were, shall we say, somewhat less than helpful. You could almost say Santa was trolled. Happy Christmas!
