Huh, luxury. My wife edited punched cards, ran program overnight.
I started with coding sheets and getting the result a fortnight later.
My first job location was using microwave links, but sudden information updates arrived on a thermal paper teleprinter using a 75 baud connection.

I was on dial up of 19.2K till December 2005, though a previous house in 1997 had 128 k ISDN. On 8 Mbps down, 1 Mbps up since December 2005.
