To: a fool in paradise
I had the internet in 1987. Newsgroups. Email. No WWW.

I started out with a 300 BAUD MODEM and CompuServe. Those were the days. (can't even remember what year I first went online)

Again off topic but that reminded me of something.

A couple of years ago, a local computer club had a yard sale.

I stopped by and sure enough found several things I needed for a couple of my old computers. I can’t even recall exactly what they were but got a couple of packs of six memory modules for a dollar each six pack.

The interesting thing is they were still bringing stuff out and pricing them when I noticed a Radio Shack (Realistic?) 300 baud modem still in it’s sealed box. It was pre-marked just over $300. The guy in charge said to mark it 50 cents and if that was too much to just give it away.
