SLOW -- LOL!!! quote:
ORIGINAL: liljoy Thanks ya'll. i learned something new today, always a good thing. i didn't get online until 98 and i guess i figured that the whole internet thing didn't get started until win95 came out. How fast were the modems way back in 88? i might be wrong, but i think ours was 300 Baud -- if this thread hadn't made me feel old .. Doing the math, i don't think i was hooked up to something called "global" in 1991, and used it for a local BBS called "sin bin" (a hockey term i found out later..lol). i do know we were up before windows, using an Atari 800 that my ex had upgraded. my kids were on line before me, before AOL even..which really makes me feel old..lol. Merry Christmas y'all...
