I downloaded the upgrade to Quicken the other evening. It was 138 MB and it was download in just a few seconds. It was just amazing and my internet can be twice as fast if I was willing to spend the money for a new modem.
It is just so astonishing to see it download that fast. I so remember buying a 300 baud modem that was not even an autodial modem for $600. No graphics in those days at all. I could read the text as fast (or slow) as it streamed down. I was supposed to call AT&T and tell them I was using a modem. I was a scofflaw and never did because they would charge me a commercial rate for the phone line. That was the days when AT&T owned everything on the system including all the telephones. No one owned their own phone.
My first 14,400K modem was just a screamer and only cost me $700 but it was the Courier US Robotics dual standard to run my BBS.
