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).

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....
