Does AOL count? If my first real internet connection was dial up 3600 baud through compuserv. When I finally upgraded to 56K I thought it was light speed.
I remember going from 300b to 1200b and thinking wow, this is it, we're done, I cannot read text scrolling on the screen at 1200b. (Ok, we did have a Lear-Siegler ADM-3A dumb terminal in the lab which could keep up with 19.2kb across the room to a PDP-11 so I wasn't ignorant of faster speeds, but in terms of remote access I really thought 1200b was all I'd ever need.) -- -Barry Shein Software Tool & Die | bzs () TheWorld com | http://www.TheWorld.com Purveyors to the Trade | Voice: +1 617-STD-WRLD | 800-THE-WRLD The World: Since 1989 | A Public Information Utility | *oo*
