You know what's really sad, LJ? Your multi-colored Kairos fish... um... because of all the homohysteria and "rainbow flag", it..... it's sad that the GLBXTBKGNPT movement has hijacked God's Rainbow to represent their perversion.

yeah, I know...that is an old logo. The new one is all blue with no additional colors anywhere...

But most of the colors on this logo are pastel unlike rainbows which are primary colors...

That, indeed, would be it... and you could watch those characters show up on your screen pretty much one at a time.

I seem to recall that computers were once connected to modems via such a telephone cradle. Nicht wahr?

yup. My first modem was like that.

And remember when fax machines didn't actually connect to phone lines - but you dialed the number on your telephone, then laid the handset into an acoustic coupling area on the fax machine, and transmitted the tones over your telephone?

I just wanted to use the opportunity to present one of the epic short (very short) films of all time

Ya done good.

Yes, but it was just a line drawing using ASCII characters.

I remember a Texas A&M bulletin board had a graphic (line drawing, at best) of Godzilla's foot crushing something, and it was a challenge to download the whole thing before your modem reset and you had to start again. Finally, at 1200 baud, I was able to see the entire "scene".

I could read faster than the 300 baud modem could write on the screen.

Yup, but then I went to the blazingly fast 2400 baud modem, and life was wonderful.

I started out with a 300 Baud modem.

Capitalists.

Potato, potato.

(Trolling aside, the history of telecommunications infrastructure in the US and UK and how they differ due to state/private ownership is a long and interesting one.)
