I shall never forget the day I introduced the 1200 baud modem (~1968) on the BBS I was running and one of the users complained BITTERLY that it should be removed immediately because he could not keep up when reading the text as it appeared on the screen! :-)
The good ol' days....
A BBS in 1968???? That was about 7 years before personal computers started to become popular and well before modems were readily available.
And well before the period you or anyone else has any right to expect exact memory of dates. I usually substitute the phrase "back in the Pliestoscene" for such long ago periods of time. -- _____________________________________ John Andersen
