How fast was your modem?

I started out on a brand spanking new 1200baud. I loved that puppy!

I used some software from some google code spot to make this so you can reminisce.


This is today's blog on yesterday's technology:

Before you load the first one. Read this: I want you to WAIT until the toplist loads before you go to the next one. It will take a bit to load. But it will be a nice benchmark for the later links. Also, keep in mind. This is just the text. This isn't going to load the pictures. Only the HTML.

1200baud:

Then my I got my pops hooked on Prodigy and he sprung for a 9600baud:

Next the 28.8K next Xmas... sweet! You can almost hear the telephone line sizzling.

Remember, you still have surfers using these... though they probably don't have credit cards or checking accounts. But that is what phone pay is for right?

And finally DSL at 768K
