Talking about modems... I also remember that summer 1984 when my Apple II (which is still on my shelf less that 1 meter away... ;-) ) got connected to the world through a 200 baud modem (my brother had built it... Those devices were not yet for sale in Italy that time...)
Nice remembrances... Those were the days when one could feel sort of pioneer... The empeg is making me feel similar emotions nowadays, though... ;-)
