I remember getting excited about 2400bps. I was not as early to the BBS scene as some of my friends, but I had to start at 300bps, even though my first model was rated for 1200. There was a known issue with the serial port on the Apple //c I was using that I had to get fixed before I could even hit 1200. In 1990, my roommate and I split for an HST so we could cut our long distance bills downloading Postscript fonts for our Macs at the time. This was before long distance got super cheap in Canada (we were calling a BBS in the US). We were crazy obsessed with hoarding those fonts. Looking back, it was a ridiculous waste of time and money.
