I remember the excitement of moving from 14k to 28.8k then 33k. Configuring Allfix and Proboard, writing in ASCII code, oh yes, very 'Old School'

I even had a Technics 6 CD changer on which I loaded Minerva Disks with Shareware and free ware programs, Peeps would dial in to download progs all night long - with those speeds you had to be on all night. The phone bill costs were horrendous? LOL!!!
