[JustinArthur] I used to surf up the interweb and IRC in Windows 3.11 on a an AMD 80386DX 40MHz edition.
[skyfire] JA: afetr walking three miles through waist deep snow, up hill, when it was -40 outside just to get to your computer :P
[JustinArthur] Shit, back then, we had to use TCP/IP over smoke signal protocol.
[Nikolai] Why the hell was your computer on top of a hill in waist-deep snow? O.o
[Lorentz] Why not?
[skyfire] smoke signal protocol!?!
[skyfire] in my day, we used a log and two sticks
[JustinArthur] Yup, someone would be at the fire on the hill with a blanket and yell out the 0s and 1s to the guy whose turn it was to be demodulator.
[skyfire] we just pounded them out on the log with our demodulator writing it down with charcoal
[skyfire] of course, noise was always a problem
[skyfire] lousy october gales
[skyfire] we were droping smoke packets like there was no tomorrow
[skyfire] then we came up with the idea of broadband over forest fire
[skyfire] that didn't work very well
[skyfire] I mean, we got the blazing speed we expected
[skyfire] unfortunately, we had a tendency to burn out the modems =/
