I was 6 years old, dad had just bought a Mac and we got a blazing fast 1200 baud modem and got hooked up with Compuserve. I was going through downsizing my "stuff" and came upon this old modem and the original Compuserve manual. It's laughable looking back at it now. It was $15.00/hr to connect during prime time!! And that was for 1200 baud. If you had 9600 you were shelling out $47.50 an hour! Now for less than $50 a month I can get online at 6mbps. Plus it was $4 exta a week for 64,000 characters over your limit of 128,000 characters of online storage. Wow. This probably qualifies as the first time I got online, as the bbs days were 8 years later. I have faint memories of playing games and wasting mom and dad's money for hours on end. Hehe
