                              That was awesome.

                              I had a TRS-80 Model 1 similar to the one he used and a red dial-up phone too. Old tech rocks.

                                      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.

                                          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. Hey, when you're like 10 that's a fun thing to do.

                                                      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
