We all lived in this big huge ocean but we abided that large land mass. It really tied the planet together back then.

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).

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?

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!
