Yeah I am old.

Coincidently, just this past week I did a major cleanup and came across a few of those Commodore cassette tapes!

Shit, my first computer was a Commodore 64 and for a game console, Atari 2600.

Wow.

The new generation doesn't even know what 56K means.

I used to use a 33.6k modem.
I'm officially "old".

300 Baud TTY terminal and I was loging into BBS forums and downloading 15K stuff that took 30 minutes to download.

Then I got a 14.4K modem and I was cooking with the downloads, but that was when we used to use a slip connection and have to connect to the internet using Netscape Mosaic.

16bps modem ftw... I still have one sitting around here where you actually put the receiver of the phone ontop of it so it can "talk" to the other computer.
