So let me get this straight: Wayne, you were 21 in 1993?
That makes you 40 next year, kind of like my younger brother Chris- ::cough:: I thought you were some 55-something, wanting those BMW M1's! I actually saw a real M1 parked at a mall in Toledo, Ohio one day in 1984. I figured you liked them because you were around them when they were first built. anyway.... |

When I got out of college I used to sell Telex - Yep 50 baud data service.
Used to have a heck of time convincing people to use "store and forward" (what we used to call email) because it wasn't real time back and forward. Set up one of the first companies in Silicon Valley with a 1200 baud dump of traffic that used to go to 16 of their subsidies in the far east - many of which could only receive at 50 baud. Pretty wild - I still remember being called in to Sun Exploration in Dallas when they had one of their African exploration sites attacked. I was with the Sun operator on line when they were ordered to surrender their communication equipment.

having to listen to ye old Teletype chatter out its characters was unpleasant but it was still a great advance over dropping a stack of punch card in a rain puddle on the way to the computer center
