For a while I used to run the archie server at Rutgers. :rolleyes: Acoustic coupler. I remember almost getting a GE acoustic coupler modem. I'm even worse because I used to key-punch stuff, then did mag tape to a PDP-11 conversion. Prior to that I sent telegrams Prior to that I delivered mail I'm also not 100 years old! I was the first person in my college class that had a computer at home (Mac+) so talk about impressing the professors! |
Almost thought we were going to have an old fashion VAX vs. VMS arugement here (simular to Ford pickup vs. Dodge pickup argument)
Still still need to get tired. |
