I am now conecting the internet using 56k modem .... ... very slow .......

can you remember that day we used 16k modem and 56k modem?.... I still have them here at home

i borrowed my friend's BenQ joybook lite U101B today just want to test and make sure as I want to buy netbook also,but there is no modem integrated .......

I can not belive that now we have 4 GB of ram , 2 TB of harddrive,Hi-speed internet....

think about my 18 year online ...... techology change alots now.....

Just out of interest Fay, what is hi-speed internet in BKK? My friend told me that it is now 6Mb in Samui.

btw.. 14k Modem ;-)

Yes I remember the time I used them.. and it was a great experience at napster... "woohoo, I have a 6KB/s download connection!"

funky : yes i know .... Samui is farrag city now .... everything sound good and better than bkk...

just want to know if someone still use or have 16 or 56 k modem

oh yes 14k .... as toma said ... not easy to type 4 on this keyboard ... too small alway miss it and being 6

oh .... did not think about tv or vdo online that day

I love the sound of modem trying to connect to the online world.. I do miss the sound only, not its speed 555

Used to buy CS cards, KSC cards and fed up with busy tone and all that

ohhhhh good old time ^^

yes i like the connection sound too.... I told my room mate .... hey you both heard that ...... so crazy

used to na kha.. about 4 yrs ago..maybe

i had TOT, it will be disconnected every 2 hours.. kort seng

why dont u just online via modem from cell phone..it's faster than ur 56k na!

but u need driver of da phone ..still complicated but reasonable if you really need internet.

I still have (but don't use) my Commodore 64.

I even saw one of them at the Smithsonian Institute 9 years ago.

When I first started in the industry, 128Kb of core (ferrite rings) memory on an IBM mainframe was shitloads. 30Mb hard disk was the max; when 100MB drives came out they were $150K each! My first PC had 64Kb RAM, twin 315Kb floppies, and cost $4,000. Those were the days! The upside was that it had a good OS called CP/M

Guess I should be in the Smithsonian too!

yeah I used to play Quake 2 on 56k - slideshow or what....

more than happy its not necessary anymore, but I also missed the groovy connection sound...

Funky House :

I run in Bangkok an 8mb and also a 5mb connection - neither of them compare well with a 2mb connection in the UK.

18 years online? ho ho you are fan pan tae ja

garfield: yes i think i had something like that too ... may not the same but very similar

Flying_Pig:yes hun .. i miss its sound ....

soda: yes i am

"I still have (but don't use) my Commodore 64."

I still have a Commodore VIC 20 residing in my mothers loft space.... jeez that was released in 1981 with a total kilobyte count of 20.. I now have a Mac with 4,000,000... Those were the gaming days, waiting anxiously for 20 minutes as the game loaded by cassette tape... then crashing at 99%

I built my first modem and wrote the routines in machine code to turn my Apple II into a dumb terminal at 300 baud so I could upload my programming assignments to the HP3000 at the uni...

damn looks like i'm going on the reverse direction, about 5 years ago I was connected to the fiber optic backbone of the country T1 line downloading a 700Mb movie in less than a movie and now I'm writing this from a 56K modem.. sucks.. in few more years maybe i'll get to that 16K as well

Lots of old geeks here... I started at 300K on a C64, and my old Timex/Sinclair is somewhere in the states. Garfield, I used to be an 'operator' when a computer was the size of six or eight big refrigerators. Old XDS and (later) SDS systems. Used AIS here for a few months, and it was slowerand less reliable than a 56K land line.

Fay, the computer you're testing has no wireless? You can't go to a hotspot? Maybe a Starbuck's or Chester's Coffee or something?
