My first modem was 600 baud. I used to like waiting a long time before source code would be in and I could check & run it. I would read the description of the game/program and in my mind I used to make up what it would be like. The reality was always nothing like it, but that was ok.
There was something fun about reading/typing in/very slowly downloading game/program listings. Later I had the same feeling with going to meetups and standing in line for ages to copy sources onto floppies.
