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....
Paper tape? Luxury. What's wrong with toggling your programs in using
the panel switches?
