early 90's, first computer had a 28.8k modem (Packard Bell)

I miss those days

:mjcry:
My first computer was a Tandy. It was in color. I played the Oregon Trail on it. It didn't have a mouse or a modem.
Early 90s. I've always had computers in my life.

Around 01-02.

My mom worked in an office and after school she'd pick us up and we'd stay for a few hours, playing around on open computers.

When I was in 4th and 5th grade we also had a pc in our classroom that we could use.

We got a computer in our house in 04.

Nah the past can keep that....

Breh 28.8 was BLAZING fast at the time.

shyt the jump from 2400 to 9600 was huge. 28.8 was like magic.

The shyt was when I bought what was called a "softmodem", which was a modem that could be upgraded through firmware. It was 9600 baud the year I bought it and went all the way up to 33.6k :banderas:.

Anyway, I been using internet since 1993. Had an account with a local bbs that included SLIP access so I could telnet into MUDs and read newsgroups and shyt.
