POTS and 56K
It did not seem that long ago that I had Plain Old Telephone Service and a 56k modem. I remember when it took minutes to download megabytes of data. That was when you were lucky and it went through. Other times there was a problem and you had to start the process again. Now we have pages that load fast. The old days photos would take maybe 10s of seconds to display. What takes a minute today would have taken hours before.
Does anyone else have fond memories of the pee-pee-po that the old modems made as they connected to that other computer?
