Any other old geezers here who remember the early days of dial-up modems? I came in around the latter half of the V32 9600 baud modems. Used it on Prodigy in 1995 when I got my first computer. It's very hard to explain to kids today just how slow the speeds were on dial-up Internet back then lol they just don't get it!

Then we got so excited when the V32bis 14.4K kbps modems came out! Speedy!!

Then the V34's came out at 28.8K, oh man!!!

Then the V90's at 56K blew us away!!

We've come a very long way for sure, and I don't take any of it for granted. Who would have ever thought we'd have 5GB and even 10GB Internet connections?!?! I'm pretty sure our alien overlords gave us some tips along the way. :p

Prodigy . . . that the name of the service I've been trying to think of that I used back in the day. My second modem was a USR V.everything. I might even still have it in a box somewhere. I was a big BBS fan till the News Groups stole the fun but there were some good News Groups for a while.
