This is great, if you've never seen a coupler modem, this is from Livermore Labs, ca. 1964. youtube.com/X9dpXHnJXaE

Ok kids. How 'bout QLink? Popped my int'l chat cherry on that, using a Commodore 64 and Hayes 300 baud modem the size of a tissue box.

We are denying an entire generation of truly fine education. EASY to create the curricula and teach it. No MONEY in it @jameswillweb

Anyone remember GEnie? Hiya ;) $4.95 all you could eat round tables, chat rooms, games, email and more. #flashback

Modify that earlier baud question from "Web" to "Internet on your home desktop" (rather than work or library or research/academia)

@thereisnocat PICTURES!!! (and no - any connection from a home computer counts)

@bcrescimanno My sense is to include Internet connectivity, as that was rare enough at low baud rates on people's home desktops.

@jameswillweb No, James. That is ubiquitous. You know, there are still people who ask me to show them my horns - because I'm Jewish.

What was the first speed at which you experienced the Web? Coupler/110, 300, 9600, 1200, 14.4, 18.8, 24, 33.6 or 56k? Broadbanders hush.

@PaulLomax .com - from the command line at maybe 14.4 baud? Yeah.

Some know the very funny story of my domain name and the argument that ensued with a now-defunct but at one time superpower named Wang Labs.
@PaulLomax Yes, before. I'm old. And happy about it. :D

@barnettjw Lucky! I've not been to CERN yet. That's one pilgramage I intend to make 'fore leaving this Mortal Coil. / @TeamARIN
In the infamous, ignorant words of Matt Lauer (not knowing who TBL was during the opening of London Olympics) "Google it." @jeffsonstein

@chriseppstein As an educator I totally see your point - about everything else but my email. It's like Davids who must be called "Dave" ;)

@chriseppstein yeah, but you haven't been "branded" for 20 years as molly dot com. I just get confused because it's so obvious to me.
