I remember downloading at blazing speeds with my 300 baud modem.

Those were the days!!! My $400 modem (300 baud was indeed speedy), printing on my $1,000 printer (dot matrix), and even being able to save files on my spiffy new $500 hard drive (10 megabyte Pluc Hardcard drive).

$500 hard drive ?.
I think you forgot a zero. $5,000 sounds more like it.
