Re: OT: I Remember When
I remember when the "high speed" setting on my modem was 1200 baud (normal speed was 300).
My first computer programming class (senior year of high school, '76-'77) used acoustic couplers to connect a teletype to the mainframe. We used punched paper tape for local storage. We also had a programmable calculator bigger than an electric typewriter which was programmed using punched cards (which had to be punched by hand).
I remember seeing _Star Wars_ in a first-run theater, before it was called Episode IV.
