#7 Shipman, Tape drive? You had tape drives? We had to load MS-Word 71 from about 60 spools of punched tape.

Tape drives would have been heaven on earth!

(and the damn thing still crashed too damn often!)

#8 Punched Tape? You had punched tape? When I was growing up we loaded WordStar 54 with Hollerith cards and we glad to have 'em.

#9 I remember building my first computer form a discarded Jacquard loom.

#10 Think ASR (No paper-tape punch capability) / KSR (With punch) 33's. Telex. TWX. Remember Andromeda Strain? The Wildfire notification that was missed because of a hanging chad between the clapper and the bell? A KSR-33. 110 BAUD. Hot shit. Danced across the room when a long msg came in.

LOL!

Help me out here. Thats 110 bits per second, not 110 kbps, right?

And remember, folks: Unix in 1972 was less than 19 months old, that is the original Bell Labs Unix.

#16 I remember 300bps modems. Heck I remember a 4800bps LAN that, if you knew the magic keystrokes and were on the right part, you could trick into doing a blazing 9600bps.

#18 Think of the pressure that Scott Ott must be under with Scrappleface. Every day this campaign gets more and more absurd. Will he be able to think more absurdly than the Dimocrits for much longer? Rice wounds, Christmas in Cambodia, Vietnam re-enactments on home movies, MS Word 72, etc. Truth really is stranger than fiction this year.
