    Yek, you're appealing to my inner (and outer) nerd, and I love you for that. Please, allow me to @ping you for an hour or so in my bedroom....

    Okay. Let's start out at 1200 bites per second and work our way up to 56K, at which point we will bring out the cables.

    My first modem was 300 bps and there was no such thing as the "internet." I remember I'd set it to dial into a BBS and then go use the bathroom and make a sandwich while it dialed in and connected. Remember that BEEEEEEEEEEEEP-beeeeeeeeeep-errrrrrrrrrk sound and all the static?

    My father actually started up one of the first internet companies in the midwest way back in the day. And before AOL because AOL ended up buying him out around 94 I think.

    Anyways, I recall 14.4 modems and that he sold internet plans for get this 186 a month~~!! how insane and he had a lot of customers.

    MY first modem was switchable between high and low speed with a physical switch. The high speed was 300 bps, and the low speed was 120! I had to dial the phone, wait for it to connect, then throw a physical switch to connect the modem to the phone line. Connecting to the BBS was very popular, so I would call 4 or 5 in rotation until I found one that was not busy. After a half hour, you were automatically logged off.

    Mass storage was a casette recorder, which would not work right if the volume was set either too low or too high, and it would usually crash after 6-7 minutes loading time.

    But when I wrote my first program and it loaded from that casette, and again when I logged into my first BBS, I felt like I held the world in my hands.

    Then there was my 200 foot telephone extension cord that I ran from the media center at school to my classroom so I could connect with a modem. The phone line was shared, so I had to run around the school with little red cards that said, "Computer using phone! Do not pick up the receiver!"

    We have a few female stormtroopers who hit up the local cons in the Hottie Trooper attire. Smexy.







    I'd wanna do a Hottie Umbrella Corp chick outfit, myself. Rawr.
