We would have killed for 110 baud. We had a three baud modem and had to carry all the 1 bits by hand.


3 baud? Luxury.

We had 1 baud and we kept it in a box in the middle of the road. Every day we'd get up, clean the box, read the bit, and then go to the factory to work for 20 hours. And when we got home every night our father would cut us with a knife.

Merry Christmas!


And when you tell that to the young people today, they don't believe you!
