I feel old now.
I remember back in the day when I couldn't afford a 14,400bps modem, because they cost over £200.

I had a pool of servants
who carried the bytes up from the local pier as they arrived on the liners from New York one at a time.

I remember the funky old ones
where you put the tellyfone on top of it.

Of course I wasn't old enough to use it at the time.
