It took half an hour.  How times have changed...

When they were making the 1982 'Tron' Digital Effects in NYC was doing
some of the CGI. The day's work would be sent to CA via modem overnight. I
forget how many hours were required for a few seconds of animation.

I think you can stream it on Prime for a couple of bucks. It should be
good for laughs if nothing more.

About the same era I was hooking up to a BBS in Boston with an acoustic
coupler. High tech!
