Heh. Anyone else remember loading games onto their computer from a cassette deck? Now those were the days.

Been there, done that. I remember composition books with numbers written down to show where each program on a tape started based on the cassette player's "counter".
First memory upgrade was from 4K to 16K....you had to have skills to program in those days.
And my first modem was not only 300 bps, but it didn't even autodial. It was one notch up from an accoustic coupler....dial the phone, hit the connect switch when the host started to squeal.
Now days I have redundant pipe even at that house. I have both DSL and cable. If one goes out, I switch to the other....at 56K I wouldn't even be able to keep up with the spam for dick pills and viruses in my email.
