I don't so much care for that.

OK, that's just crazy talk. How would we ever find such a picture?

If ya'll want n00bs (sorta), I could create another account, maybe call myself Neuroclone. Or, for all you fans of it, how about Drax 2.0.

The word you're looking for is "dialup."

But you whippersnappers, you probably never used an acoustic modem. With a rotary dial phone.

Even a whippersnapper like me used a dialup modem -- although the lowest I ever got was I think 900 baud, and certainly not with a rotary phone. My grandmother did have one of those, but never in my family.

If I remember correctly, the first time I blasted off into Cyberspace was 1987....connected to Gameboard Plus BBS via Telix using a 1200 baud modem to download stuff and play L.O.R.D.

I got DSL in 2005.

Bi poster, I see. 7 posts in 3 whole years. That's quite a feat.
