L33T

Oh how I hate it

You think 56k is bad? there used to be 28.8's and 14.4's. and even slower ones before that (that i cant remember the exact bauds thay had).



plz s33 h0w l33t 1 @m =)

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.

Minnesota..
 

What town in minnesota do you live? I'm from Jordan (south of the cities)

Indeed, 2400 baud modems > you all

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....

I had too settle for ASCII art naked girl pinups... LOL..

TRS-80.. Microsurgeon ROCKED ! I still have one in a closet somewhere with Alpiner jammed in it..

omfg so like when comps first came out lol they were so pimping with their 14.4 hahahashaha omg!:p

I was going to respond, but that post didnt really make any sense...LOL...

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.

wow!:p

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.

hmm
 

hmmmmm if you think about it we do have it made now . but then again when they updated back in the day we thought that. I bet you about 5 or 10 years from now we will look back and say damn how did we ever make it with that slow ass stuff :P

Stupid technology....

wonder what my kisds in the futer will think about dsl and cable modem hmmm?:p

"what? it cant download ( some very large size like over 4k x 3k ) live with full graphic details? man! snail slow!"

even worse-

"what? how are you using this dead tech? all computers incuding this 30 year old computer uses qunitium links and has ( some riciously huge number ) per sec connection?"

lol

8 baud in da biznitch
 

8 baud was the shiznit :!:

3 things I hate:

1. people who crack on windows that have never used an alternative

2. Mike's hard rasberry lemonade

3. hockey

Tell us some more stories Grandpa :P

my 3 things to hate

1) stupid people (this means bout 60% of people i meet)

2) red beats (how can anyone honestly like them?)

3) playing a cleric (i have nothing but the utmost respect for people that do)

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.
