The 14.4 baud speed was amazing, but when 28.8 came along, we all thought we were flying in a jet plane. We could actually download a piece of software in under two hours, sometimes.

I was fortunate enough to get to cheat the system in those days.
I met the guy who started the ISP, he was friends with one of my friends. He gave me a job going in and changing the backup tapes out on all the computers in the office every night.
I had 2 hours a night to sit right at the head of the t1, and download anything i could find.
The bitch was transport. then that writable CD hit... solved. I still have some of those old written CDs from those days.
