I don't even remember at this point. It was early high-school I think and they were in the tech lab in a box.

Ahh, indeed.

Dang i ALSO screech across long distances.

Modems are a LITTLE before my time and there's only a vague window of time from which I remember them. This however is still enough to kinda make me wanna mess around with a couple of the modern instances of them that are still kicking around somehow ...

ATHI!
OK

Do recommend!

Lol, indeed. Same.

We did lose our first modem to a thunderstorm as kids. We unplugged the PC during it, but not the phone line and an electric surge melted our modem.


Wow, that is really unfortunate.


I think by the time I was old enough to use the computer myself, my mother had switched us over to DSL, which ...

Wild Metal Country! Made by the same people who made Grand Theft Auto, who are now known only as the makers of GTA. This is a nice and slow tank game where you collect rainbow cores and return them.

Welcome to the forums!

Indeed, flip phone days were much simpler then!

Thank you!

I specifically am going to pick some interesting small channels that I subscribe to that I find interesting, mostly related to topics around video games and whatnot.

I have been watching lots of Stargate recently, currently Atlantis! I really enjoy the Stargate series, for the most part with few exceptions, just it is too bad it is not something that will ever come back in its classic form.

Hi!

Hi! Thank you!

I suppose an option to disable animations or only show the first frame of a GIF would be good, the animations are very distracting.

Also, perhaps the Readable theme could be the default? It was very eye straining to sign up and to find the option to switch themes as Fixedsys is not really a well ...

Does anyone have any modems to share?

This is a video I recorded a few years back on an iBook G4 connecting over dial-up, very retro!

Gosh, this was a sound I heard all too often just to get online. Times definitely have changed since.

Hi! PowerMacs are very cool!

Happy Enby Day!!

Hi! I am Xer, I am a Squirrel but also an Orc! Have not used such ancient internet communication technologies since an era long past, but this definitely brings back memories lol. I do reverse engineering and retro stuff, like working on a Java Virtual Machine (you can call it an Emulator) that can ...
