Dark_Matter Posted February 24, 2005 CID Share Posted February 24, 2005 I remember back in the day when i first got online around 1994 when dial-up was the norm, and people who actually got 28.8k or better thought this was awesome. Not to mention isdn connections were like WOW then to. Now i have an almost 5 Mbps down and 450 up speed, and some of you guys have 10 Mbps or better. Maybe I'm just rambling, but just look how quickly things change, and how much our speeds have come. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xs1 Posted February 24, 2005 CID Share Posted February 24, 2005 Our speeds are only a "speed bump" right now. Just a tease. Soon all homes will have Fiber connections directly to the GigE Backbone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MICROWAVE Posted February 24, 2005 CID Share Posted February 24, 2005 Yeah it was strange that we thought that was fast, I did a lot of pgm of phone systems over dial^ at the time , 4me it was a good thing that it was so slow....... I was getting paid by the hour. It was kinda cool because I was able to do a good deal of "work" from home , that is as long as the modem answered and the capture switch for the line was in the correct position.....

junkieXL Posted February 25, 2005 CID Share Posted February 25, 2005 I've got my first boat anchor on display at work in the server room, as a hilarious museum piece next to the humming data racks...Pakkie-Bell 286 loaded with 12mb ram, 680Kb drive, a:/ AND b:/ drives, Win3.11 for Workgroups & the "Hackers' Paradise" AOL 1.0....i think we ran an external 14.4 modem too. Ain't it great that some things don't stay the same ~! -JxL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
