LOL. Great find.
I love it! Kind of reminds me of old movies of people driving around Model T Fords.
I remember when CJOH used to post their nemwsreaders reading notes on the National Capital Freenet.
We still don't have comics on the online newspaper websites!
I love it! Two hours to get the entire newspaper... over the phone... after it's programmed in by the journalists.
Possibly the coolest video I've ever seen.
"Richard Halloran - Owns Home Computer"
His neighbours must have been so jealous.
Bonus props for the rotary phone/modem combination.
To you youngsters it's funny.
To me, it's nostalgia.
I remember my excitement when I got a 300 baud modem for my C64, and I could dial up BBSs and exchange files. And that was after the time of the video.
