We had a Vic20 then a Commodore 64 when I was a kid.

I think our first modem was 300baud and I went on BBS's with it.

I think the next modem was 2400, but I remember being so excited when we got a 9600.

I got a hand me down 386 and later bought a 486 cpu used off a neighbor and upgraded it myself. That was my first time tinkering inside the case.
