LOL!
Boy, do I remember those things. At the York Commonwealth campus of Penn
State we had one of those that linked us to the 360/370 at State College. I
was a sysop for a couple of years for extra credit and ended up solving all
sorts of programming problems for other undergrads.
When I got the Atari 800 back in 1980 it had a 1400-baud modem, and I
thought I was living in luxury.
Having lived through the years of punched tape and punched cards before
there were interactive terminals is why I don't mind the speed of dialup all
that much. It's the poor connectivity that bugs me.
And those damned 132-column impact line printers may have done more damage
to my hearing than hanging around C-130s for six years.
