300? I can see it now:

Dad: Hey, son. How far is it?
Grog: The "A" just loaded!
Dad: Aw, shoot! Well, tell me when the "M" loads.

XD

I kid though. Someday, the next generation will laugh at today's internet speeds.

"How slow a connection? 2 megabits!? HAHAHAHA!!! How did you manage without 14k macrophoton hyperconnectivity!? Haha!" "Well, smart aleck! I guess I just had to hit my modem with a rock until it decided to connect!"

Also, really random. But, I like your sig banner, Grog.

If life were like a box of chocolates, I'd know what I would get... The one that got dropped on the floor and put back in the box.

Iye nehvur yoose spehl chehk, ahn mie tippyng izz fiyne.

That's about the way it was with 1200 baud. The one thing I don't miss is line noise. The phone lines were so bad in my area I couldn't call BBSes that were in my own town... but the next town over was almost free of line noise.
