Early '90s tech wizardry

It's strange for me to think now that there was ever a pre-Internet time.  I remember an early '90s moment at KCOU when the station had just gotten a new fax machine.  A few of us were talking about how convenient it would be to fax our weekly countdowns of the station's most played songs to CMJ (College Music Journal).  One KCOU executive admitted feeling like a kid on Christmas, wanting to stay up and play with the train set.  Today, that would be an unusual sentiment.  Then, however, when none of us were online, it wasn't.
