I remember my first RAM purchase, got it for a steal, $50 per 1mb 30 pin SIMM. I had 4. MEGABYTES of ram, windows 3.11 screamed!
Then when internet upgraded from 28.8k to 56k dial-up... ooooohhh momma!
My beard is grey, my first modem was a 2400baud. I couldn’t believe the speed when I upgraded to 14.4.
Back in the days of BBS glory. My first intro to the internet was via BBS’s, eventually got online through my mom’s alumni account at the U of M, using slip minuet and the mosaic browser.
My god I’m old.
