I can remember dialing into CompuServe on my C-64 through a 1200 baud modem. After waiting for what seemed like hours, there was nothing much to look at - sure was cool, though.

I can remember dialing into CompuServe on my C-64 through a 1200 baud modem. After waiting for what seemed like hours, there was nothing much to look at - sure was cool, though. 300, to 1200, 2400, to 56k and every step in between. . . We always had to have the fastest as soon as it became available. . . and were disappointed when the promise didn't match the performance!

I remember when Compuserve was a blue screen with white text. I can still remember my user ID...72327,120.
