No, the roots of the Furry Fandom predate the advent of the personal computer and the emergence of the Internet. It started with fanzines and APAs (notably VOOTIE back during the 70's, edited by Ken Fletcher and Reed Waller) and with animation fans in the LA area. Computers didn't really play a part in the fandom until the rise of the BBS boards in the late 80's and early 90's.
