Hi Guys.

A bit of old school

Reminds me of a clip I showed my students of early gps style navigation where the instructions were saved on a cassette tape and the system knew where the car was by actually monitoring its movement via the speedo.

I remember when I was working in HK and the US in 1999/2000, and they gave us PCM card modems (I hope that's right), that were 57.6k modems. And now we have 50GB NBN at home (and that's on the slow side!).

Yeah, the speeds (board??) were like 9,600 (slow), 14,400, 28,800, 56,600 (fast).

I think 56k was the fastest???

Geeze, I still must have all that junk in a box somewhere stashed awsy.

I want some of that 50GB NBN, I only get 120Mbps via 4G Broadband.

...presumably that was 50Mbps

My first computer as a kid was the Commodore VIC 20, just before the release of the more popular Commodore 64. Games on cassettes played through the TV, still have it actually.

Problem is none of the TV's have the connections to use it again...
