- So have I. Connected using a 300 bps modem at 1:30 in the morning over a
- multi-hop satellite link with 2.85 second delay. Because I was hanging
- off a telephone pole (they refused to bring phone jacks into my office),
- I had both hands busy and had to use my tongue to press the keys on a
- modified teletype model 33, and because the ribbon was worn through, I
- had to read what it typed by manually interpreting the punches in the
- paper tape. Except that there was no paper tape because we were so cheap,
- so I had to put my left earlobe in the paper tape punch to feel the
- output of the terminal.
-
- I mean, things were really tough.

- PPS: DOES ANYONE OUT THERE READ THAT STUFF I STICK IN DIGITAL REVIEW?

- into a black hole.
