This screenshot shows the top of an essay titled "FIDO Net Made Me Do It" by Randy Reddick, where he recalls using ProComm to connect to a BBS for the first time in 1984.
It's from the book "When nerds and words collide," published in 1999 to reflect on "computer-assisted reporting" or CAR. You can download it here: https://www.ire.org/when-nerds-and-words-collide/
