Funny how we’re all commenting on baud speeds and not the Vodafone event :)

I was actually discussing with Alikat how I was using a 1200 baud modem that I'd built myself to access BBSs. So I guess that makes me almost dead? I've worked out that the relationship between your first memory of internet/BBS access speeds and current age is: Current Age = 87.713*Average Baud Rate When 18 years old^-0.1057 Thanks Geoff for pointing out that there’s a relationship between how old one is based on the average modem speed when “surfing” as a youngster.

I used to love BBS's as well, but by the time I got onto those, the average modem was 33.6k. Guess that makes you a couple years older than me huh? awww… I used to love BBS’s as well, but by the time I got onto those, the average modem was 33.6k.
