My first computer-to-computer connection was at 300 baud.

We were a club of "mighty" Commodore 64 Users working out the bugs of the Modem world back then.

No matter how many times I get a faster connection, it's always too slow after a while. 8-)

Did you try the “Free version” of Mosaic or did you do like me and go out and buy it?

The good old days of the BBS!

Yep, me too. Still remember the first time I found a bulletin board - holy crap!

I had a commodore 64 once upon a time. I remember using it for games and early internet. AOL charged by the minute, I think, and available minutes were used up fast. You’d do all your typing, and then go online and blast all of it all at once.

I remember early dot-matrix printing of documents for papers...at the time ribbons out-performed jets and lasted far longer. The product, though, was unimpressive.

I remember doing graphics for my first slide shows and going away for an hour or two to get other work done while the graphics slowly got produced line by excruciating line.

I remember bringing my shiny new 300 baud modem to the Atari users group meeting and passing it around for “show and tell.” It's serial number was low 3 digits.

It was so cool because I did not have to run an Adaptec interface and it actually plugged into the phone line instead of being acoustic.

I remember those days. Started out at 300 with a TRS-80, then upgraded to a Hayes Smartmodem 1200 on a IBM 5150. Ran a BBS on it. Then one day the SYSOP, me, received a message from a company I’d never heard of before, offering to sell me a 2400 baud modem at a great discount. Cheaper than the Hayes 1200.

The company was USRobotics, and I thought I was traveling the dialup net at warp speeds.
