Want to know how far personal computing has come? In the 80's there were modems that ran at 1200 baud. Most of us probably remember 56k modems right? Remember trying to load AOL over 56k? Well take the speed of a 56k and divide it by 46. That's how fast you could BBS at 1200 baud. I wasn't even in the 80s computer scene but I still remember when a gigabyte was a helluva lot of space..
