Still remeber running out and getting a 56K modem when AOL supported it. want to say that was a little before 97, but I am not positive.
Such a big deal back then. Could load a 1mp picture in under a minute. Freaky fast!  |
28.8K???
I don't remember what year it was, guessing somewhere about 1980. We were running our company on a Radio Shack TRS-80 model 3. Dow Jones announced a service where, if you programmed your own communications protocol (they gave parameters) you could access a "real time" news agency, with stock quotes, current weather, and movie reviews. I think my daughter would have broken the bank had I allowed her unlimited access to the movie reviews.
We had a 300 baud dial-up modem at the time.
