Yes, this is what people did back then

you've omitted "just." If "just" were not in the sentence I would have instinctively filled it in with the missing words you've suggested. But I can't reconcile "just" with any parse.
True. English isn't my native language and I thought about this, but it somehow just makes sense in my head. The way the "just" is used reminds me of the Modalpartikel we have in German. They're basically filler words that add nuance, emphasis or expectation to a sentence.
Sometimes people ask "Just why?", and that's a bit different than only "Why?", because it adds a sense of confusion or urgency to the question.

Have a long and frustrating wank to Cosmopolitan because I'm a teenager and haven't figured out I can just walk into a newsagent and buy a copy of Penthouse.

AOl, or the BBS's that I was a member of.

AOL was dial-up.
Of course it was. I had it.

Dial into my local BBS and play some door games.

Well now I'll be thinking all day on the thought experiment of how one could actually prevent it, assuming they're only a US citizen.
I guess you could send in an anonymous bomb threat on the morning for both towers, but that still wouldn't prevent the tragedy of all those onboard.

That makes sense, and "just" is a filler word in English. I can see why in another language like German this would work fine. But in English, at least to me, this seems exceptionally clunky. The simplest explanation is simply that "just" isn't generally used in a context where "what" is been elided, but maybe there's a deeper reason why it sounds odd to me.

We know where they went to flight school. Intercept and eliminate those hijackers. You will go to jail for murder, but you will change the course of history.

Lay in bed for a moment and listen to the tunes on my sweet Panasonic clock radio alarm before slapping the snooze button. Then suddenly wake up to realize I have a clock radio alarm again.
