My first modem was a Zoom Telephonics Modem IIe. It ran at a whopping 110/300 baud. No, it wasn't an acoustic coupler, but it might as well have been. I remember when I got my Apple Cat modem with 212 card, I was in high-speed modem heaven. Then a friend of mine picked up an authentic Hayes 2400 baud modem for around $1,100 US and made us all jealous. Here's a trivia question: http://www.tacticalgamer.com/members...-question.html

LOL@Whiskey
I think we should make an early days of home computers thread to avoid any more massive hijacking. I got very fit in the late 80's because I used to lift weights while waiting for huge 100k files to download.

Re: You grew up in the 90s if...
I got my first 2400 modem with a Prodigy kit from Babbage's! Dialed up on the Commodore Colt (XT clone) with two low density 5 1/4" drives and no harddrive. 486 DX/2-66 after that.. Been downhill ever since..

Re: You grew up in the 90s if...
I think I has 128K of memory on my Apple IIe. I thought it was amazing when I moved up to 1MB on my Amiga (I think it was 1MB. Now that I type it i'm not so sure). When I got my first PC, a 486 DX2/66 I went all out and spent over $4,000 on a Compaq Proliant and upgraded it to 8MB of RAM with a 340MB hard drive. Less than a year later I bought an Adaptec AHA-1542 SCSI controller and picked up a full-height 5.25" Micropolis 1.7GB drive. I had more storage than all my friends machines combined. I almost had 2GB! Damn. I was cool.

The other thing that makes me happy to think about is my first monitor (13" 640x480 orange monochrome) compared with the one I'm currently on. (20" 1680x1050, 4 Billion colors). ![]() |

Re: You grew up in the 90s if...
I had a fully functional 1991 Macintosh Classic II that I bought on ebay for $25. That thing is amazing and I can't believe that thing cost $1,900 USD in 1991....

Re: You grew up in the 90s if...
I met my wife on a Mac Classic. I told her it had FOUR MEGS of RAM.
Yeah. She pretty much fell for me right away. What can I say? She responds to power.
