Hey! They've Got One and They are Nowhere Near as Cool!

I remember our first modem was the kind where you put the handset onto the unit itself, and it got data by listening to the screeches and tones through the earpiece. I remember when dad finally got a 1200 baud modem that you could dial FROM THE SCREEN! And it was blazing fast. The little green words just flew by.

When I got an Atari 800, my favorite game was called Red Baron or something. It was on cassette tape, and loading all 256kb of it took like 30 minutes. It had graphics though. I loved it.
