I then explained how to use it.

Fantastic stories from both Bob and yourself. I'm sure that some people don't know how good they've got it nowadays.

I think that every time someone complains about a software program taking a minute or two to load. I remember waiting 20 minutes for a program to load from tape! Sometimes it would fail at the 19 minute mark so it was rewind and start again. Those were not the good old days!


Whenever I get something stuck in the back of my throat, I dislodge it by drinking a beer.
It's called the Heineken Maneuver.

I remember downloading files from BBS systems over 300 baud dial up. In one instance I dialed up to "Al's Nest" to download a hockey game. It was 4 files that were in an early version of today's ZIP files. That system had a 1 hour user limit. Each of those files took 72 minutes to download. So they had a download that nobody could download. I called Al about it and explained and the deal was made that he would set up his system that at 11pm I could start the download and for that one session have unlimited time to get all 4 files.

0.3 kbps!!

My current ISP is 230 mbps.

Why has everything improved over the last 35 years except ME?

Remember old synths that stored patches on cassette tapes?

That would have been impractical on the seven-house party-line phone line I had growing up.

I remember those days!
I also remember only having to dial the last 5 digits of the phone number you were calling (as long as it was local)
45081 = Mom & Dads music store back in the day
Funny, I don't remember the home number from back then, probably because I never called it

Well if Eddie thinks that you are a jerk then I don't want to know what he thinks of me!
