Amazing how spoiled we've become, too.
And that's not a potshot at you, that's just an observation in general (including myself in that!). When I started logging onto BBSes in 1990, it *was* at 300 baud. I got used to it, and it didn't seem too slow at all. That was on a Commodore 64. I upgraded to an IBM compatible the next summer and got a 2400 baud modem, and was BLOWN AWAY at the speed of it. Same thing happened three years later, when I got a 14.4 modem. That was the modem that first took me onto the net.
I'd wind up connecting as high as 50.6 with a 56k modem, and after being in the workplace and at college with high-speed connections, 56k seemed "too slow". Now, living someplace where it's available, I'm on cable....
