I lovingly crafted this 100% realistic early 90s internet simulator so the young folks can get a feel for how I spent my teens.

      Dear sir, can I interest you in a blazingly fast modem that is 50% faster than this at 14.4K?

        You joke, but a 14.4 modem was a game changer at the time. It felt like blazing speed compared to 9600.

          When I upgraded from 2400 baud to 9600 it felt like I had somehow got my hands on tech from the future.
