Ok, stop... you're making me all nostalgic. I
think it all started to go
downhill when the modems became capable of transferring text faster than
you could read it (aka 2400 baud). :]
By that measure, my downhill was 9600 baud.
Of course, I jumped right from my 1200 baud Multitech to a 14.4K on my
486. Jump to lightspeed!
Some of us started out on 10 c.p.s. teletypes and input our first
programs on paper tape....
