You don't have a high speed Internet connection??

My first modems were all 300 baud, when we finally got 1200 and then 2400 baud, I could not imagine needing anything faster. My first computer (a TI 99-4A) was 16k of memory I later added 32K to expand it to the full 48K that it would address. My First IBM pc was 256k then I expanded it to 640K. I later put a 20Meg hard drive in it.. Wow, that was the end I was sure.

If anyone were to ask me, and no one did, I think the gen5 wireless will be the eventual savior of those in rural areas.

Compared to other civilized countries, USA high speed Internet access is in the Dark Ages. Availability completely depends on geography.

We are more dispersed than other countries.

My tape mill uses paper tape and I have the teletype with pucher to program it... I guess it is now approaching museum vintage.

We had a typesetter that had a paper tape that you had to manually pull through a reader to "boot" it. That was 1987. We had punch card programming that left right before I was hired. To this day, if you remove a tile in the raised floor in the computer lab, you stand a good chance of getting those punched chads blown in your eye by the air conditioning! :laughing:

This is the technology I install. Fiber to the outside of the house and then a Calix unit to convert from fiber to copper. It works great.View attachment 469927

Yep, that's exactly what we have now. Still lovin' it!
