Well the farthest back I can remember is the day I was born. I don’t remember 
the doc coming

in the room but I remember him leaving. J

Oh boy, it's the "which of one of us can remember the oldest thing" contest.

Do you remember when you had to hunt smilodon with a flint spearhead? Boy those 
were the days eh?

I remember running Fortran programs on Tymshare from a teletype over dialup, 
with the phone handset sitting in the modem.  You’d wait for hours, wondering 
if it was still working, tempted to pick up the handset and listen if there was 
still modem tone.

 

I also remember using a Silent 700 terminal, the latest model with a 1200 baud 
modem, and thinking it was great stuff.

 

I had an ISDN-BRI line at home for awhile, with Internet from PSINet (now part 
of Cogent).

I remember 300 baud modems that were 4 wire E&M connections.

Dude I remember my 300 baud modem that cost an arm and leg and had to wait 
because it was special order only and then

when I got I had to register it with the local phone company before I was 
allowed to attach it to THEIR phone line. Thirty plus

years ago and lead to a rather lucrative career at the phone company. Aw the 
good old days. Late nights cruising  the BBS’s

and thousand dollar a month long distance phone bills. Back when rates where 
time of day and distance based. None of this

flat rate calling. Anyone besides me remember Compuserve?

Dude I remember how excited I was when I got home from school and heard this as 
I dialed out to BBS.. I had my new fancy Practical Peripherals 14.4 external so 
you could set it next to your PS/2 and watch the lights.. so much fun!  (:
