Exactly.

I had a Rat Shack M100 back in, what--1983. Complete with dialup.


Oh yeah? Well, I had a VAX in 1979 with a 300 baud modem.

That *WAS* broadband in 1979...

BWAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!

I STARTED with a PDP-11/03 with the same phone/cradle setup.

My favorite thing (I was at school, with two campuses 5 miles apart).

Go to the remote campus, log on and type "open KB## as input".

Then wait for someone on the other side to type in "hello" to log in. Then
