Modems, wArEz, and ANSI art: Remembering BBS life at 2400bps

A fun retrospective on arstechnica.com..  I’m still amazed at the greater leap from a 286 with a 2400 baud modem, to a 486 with a 19,200 baud modem…  It’s amazing we could do what seemed like so much with so little.

  1. 10 years from now people will wonder:
    “What? They were able to compute anything with their single digit core CPUs??”
    “And only 12mbps connections? what’s up with that? it’s all in Exabytes now…”
