When I was in high school, a 56k dial-up internet connection was a true privilege and there was only one computer in the whole school that had internet access. N00b.

Agreed, unless you have used a 150 baud acoustic modem and have had to play with stop bits and parity settings, you can't really appreciate what we have today.

I still have a 300 baud Hayes Smartmodem in the closet. It would probably work, if I could find a computer with a serial port to hook up to it.
