I was dialing in from work to upload homework at 300 baud, around '84.
When I got my first modem for my first real PC (we'll skip the CoCo), *I*
had 1200 baud. *nyah*
But between 1978, when I went back to college, and '81 or os, a year into
my first programming job, I was on punch cards; then it was the shared
three terminals in the hall. Originally, a 370-168 timeshare, then, after
we won the lottery to get it nine months before most everyone, we had our
4300. And we had *real* line printers.....
But I say there *ain't* no differmenints. You'se is gots your share, we
had VM regions.....
