I used to have have an Apple IIe with a 110/300 baud modem. When I switched to PC's, I switched to WWIV BBS Software - it had just been converted from Basic to Turbo Pascal. BBSes are still around..they've made the conversion to the internet a long time ago. Indeed, those were the days.. I used to have have an Apple IIe with a 110/300 baud modem.

Um. Nerdy. But not much of the old old school. Mid 80's, acoustic coupler modems, capable of 300baud on a good day, except I lived in a fucking trailer and we had party line phones so I'd get knocked off if I ever dared to try to dial in in the afternoons; and my parents wondered why I was up all night.... Not to mention, I never saw this 300baud. *griN* Wow. Um. Nerdy.
