I had an acoustic modem once, pick up your phone reciever, dial in the number and slap the receiver down in a big foam case connected to your computer... measured speed in hundreds of BYTES per second. Ah the good ol' days.

You guys are newbs... LOL.. I remember the acoustic modems, though I never had one.. MY first modem was a 300 BAUD plugin modem for a C64. It would take all day to transfer a 640K disk. I remember getting excited over my upgrade to a 1200K thinking I was on easy street at that point.

Yea my first computer was a TRS-80 about the time they first came out. When we got it it used a standard AUDIO tape recorder to store data and programs! We were bad ass when we got a 160K 5 1/4 floppy drive :) I think we had a 300 baud modem, but I never used it then. I don't remember it that was an acustic modem or not...
I had been into BBS's a lot since the 1200 buad modem days, but that was on PC's by then. It took something like 30 min to get a 640x480 image downloaded! Anyone want to guess the content of that picture? :D

Ahh the good ole days....

trs-80 model 3 rocked ass. Galaxy invasion and Robot attack
were my favorite games. You had to connect a little voice box
to get sound out of it. Graphx were like huge black and white
boxes. Dot Matrix printer was like 3 gran and loud as hell.

Galixy Invasion!!! Man I played the hell out of that. I think I had 1 game that lasted 45 min for some ungodly high score.

Oh the memories....

lol the flag ship attacks were great with the lock on laser that
you could never dodge. And the funnest part was when the
screen warped and you switched positions with the aliens.

Beets rule. I LOVE them, and brussels sprouts, and no I'm not kidding. I'll eat almost anything, but I'm surprised at the amount of stuff people consider gross that I absolutely adore.

One thing that's stereotypical that I hate: spinach. Mix it or hide the funky "I have iron!" taste from me. It's like eating pond scum.
