Boy you wouldn't believe the sizes of those amoebas back in my day, you young 
whippersnappers. We all lived in this big huge ocean but we abided that large 
land mass. It really tied the planet together back then.

  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!  (:
