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.

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

@mollydotcom 33.6. Parents freaked at our huuuuge phone bill that arrived soon after. I blame yahoo chess for that!

@mollydotcom 14.4 - via a CompuServe connection. What exciting times they were
@mollydotcom The BBS world was 300 baud. The web.... probably 14.4.

@mollydotcom 9600, using a 486 Thinkpad through a dial-back mainframe model. All in 40x24 glorious green on black terminal. Lynx + Charlotte
