You're an infant

My first modem was 300 baud. [Who even remembers Émile Baudot (11 September 1845 – 28 March 1903)?] It was lent to me by a physics post-doc in my ridepool to the local university. It was slow enough that I had no trouble reading the characters as they came in. It was only several years later that 9600 baud modems came along, and the company that I worked at let me manage the company's Usenet feed. The requirement was that the Usenet stuff had to fit in a 13 MB partition. That meant that rec.arts.startrek had to expire very quickly. When there was a flame war over whether the Enterprise could prevail over the Death Star I had to scramble to make sure that the Usenet partition didn't overflow. As for pr0n, flame wars over whether the Enterprise could prevail over the Death Star were very intense pr0n for tech aspies. [fap-fap-fap]
