I think if my first modem was 2400 baud and I paid for CI$ by the minute (until I snagged myself a comped account for “volunteering” 40 hours a month), I get to call myself old. 😃

Ah, nostalgia. I fondly remember the Tapfests that occurred from time to time. I recall one out on Long Island shortly after I came east in 1996 and 2 or 3 at a jazz restaurant on 10th Ave in Chelsea in Manhattan. Theresa Carey, Stu Lieberman, Et al. I think the notorious ’Nando Gelbard even showed up on occasion. Those pre World Wide Web TAPCIS days were a trip. . It’s hard to imagine worrying about per minute charges and 2400 baud modems nowadays.

I too started with an acoustic coupler and had to relearn all my
20 years previous experience on mainframes
