Re: Net Neutrality Important! Time Warner Cable considering per-gigabyte plans
Losing the Net would push the bulk of us back to the old BBS days.. I used to sysop my own BBS back in the day (early 80's) beta testing a bbs software called TurBoard. Turboard used a proprietary graphical interface based on NAPLPS graphics similar to the Prodigy service and one of the very first to do so. I actually sometimes miss those days, but not the modem speeds.. I was elated when I went from 300 baud connection speeds to 1200 baud and then 9600 baud. Back in the earliest, text-only days, the text would literally appear on the screen a letter at a time!
Now, I gripe when my high speed broadband is a little "slow"..
