I remember acoustic modems, where you put the phone on the modem itself. I started out with one of those bad boys. I used to use Archie search all the time through the early (non-graphical) 'net. Telnet for MUDs, ftp for trading 0-day warez, and many more utilities, on VAX and Unix.Comment

I used to sit the accoustic modem on the table and spin the rotary dial on the phone. The vibrations caused the teleprinter spew out garbage.

I remember upgrading from a 300bps modem to a 1200 and thought I was king shit. Dialing in to random BBS's and interacting/chatting with people live was a mind fuck back in the day. Also downloading pixelated porn static gifs that took 45 minutes to load up on your screen

It was bad, not awesome! I was around (after 1988 really, from commodore and up) and I remember it was damn slow, even I got an HST 9600 which was very new at the time. Also you hit the "busy line" in BBSs this was frustrating, is like 2 people connect is a ddos already. Just it was cheaper than internet since I was using bluebox really, no one of my friends made normal calls.Comment

According to some, they'll be downloading our brains in about 50 years.

I was programming in Basic on a Commodore Pet back in 1980/1 in England. And in 1983 I worked for a NYC bank and wrote an application in Microsoft Cobol that ran on an IBM PC. They were the days, we used to live in paper bag in septic tank... cue Monty Python . . . .
