I also remember 300 baud modems and my Atari 800.

My in-laws still have a (working) yellow rotary phone in their kitchen. They only keep it because it's nostalgic now.

I owned an Atari VCS, 400, 800, and 130XE. Never had a 300 baud modem myself, started off with a 1200, then got a blazing Hayes 2400 SmartModem. It rocked.

Wow, I had to laugh when I saw this. I had the same computer and printer! It all looks period ... even the sideburns.

Thanks, Steve... that's only one of the many advantages you get when you work for a state school! (No, really, I actually love it... it's just the furniture is getting a bit old).
