Exactly.
I had a Rat Shack M100 back in, what--1983. Complete with dialup.
I had a LAPTOP in 1983. Epson HX-20.

And just what did you think an M100 was/is? I didn't get mine until
1984, but I used it until well into the 90's.So...where?

And lemme guess, that's what you're using to poast to Usenet :)
Oh yeah? Well, I had a VAX in 1979 with a 300 baud modem.
That *WAS* broadband in 1979...
PDP11/34A with VT52(?) display terminal round about same time, with 'high speed' phone modem with two rubber sockets that the phone hanset jammed into !

BWAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!
I STARTED with a PDP-11/03 with the same phone/cradle setup.
My favorite thing (I was at school, with two campuses 5 miles apart).
Go to the remote campus, log on and type "open KB## as input".
Then wait for someone on the other side to type in "hello" to log in. Then the fun began!
