the last guy's cable tv wires to feed all the TVs from that. I came up
on BBS and 1200 BAUD Modems. Get along fine on dial-up.


You got along fine when programs were smaller, less data was floating around
and background information to get a screen to load was miniscule compared to
minimum necessities in this day and age. Using a 1200 baud modem as an
example is absolutely ridiculous considering that one would fail completely
in any platform currently used.
