I remember my first 300 baud modem. AMAZING !!!

I sold a bunch of computers when I took one with Lotus 123 on it to an engineering firm. They were astonished.

Lol. 300 baud. Certainly not web surfing worthy.

Lotus 123. Great program! The precursor to Excel. Whoever created it was brilliant. I use Excel 10x a day.

I remember sending emails TO GERMANY! When I worked for Digital... We’d have to wait until the next day to get a response (because of the time difference). :)

And being able to launch a print job from home (via a modem) and it be ready for me when I arrived at work the next day.
