I think it's trying to be like an AOL/CompuServe type instead of a standard ISP, which back then would not have had nearly that much information.

I think it's sort of like.... a passing generalization, like how accurate a ren faire is or a theme park. heh

It wasn't really quite like that, but this is close enough to give folks not around then a general taste of it. :)
