I had a 2400 internal that was just so slow. I paid something like $50 for the thing with cable. The fastest ones at the time were 14400 baud, so this one was a steal. I hooked up to the local BBS, the Maverick BBS, and just couldn't believe the speed. I won't tell you what I was downloading. ;-) The Maverick BBS was also the place where I got my first e-mail address. I had no one to send an e-mail to, but I had one. Looking forward to new shows.
