You technically haven't lived until you use an acoustic coupler, a
cassette tape recorder and a wire tap to record 300 baud modem tones as
you type out files on a PDP-10 somewhere...
And then play that tape back to your own computer and that same modem,
and save it to floppy.
It's how I saved LOGO.MAC from somewhere on the ARPANET back in the
early-to-mid 80's.
