My version of this epiphany was w/ BBSs in the late 80s. I just assumed the BBSs I called were running on "mainframes" or some such. It was shocking when I found out I could run a BBS on my PC.

Ran a Commodore 64 BBS with multiple modems/phone lines, and many floppy disk drives for storage. It wasn't fast, but it was a lot of fun.
