Re: Something doesn't seem right... 1990?? said by spamd:In 1990 4 million people? What the heck were they running, DOS? Was telecommuting even a word back then? Yes, yes, and yes. I telecommuted with a DOS based machine in the early 80s - a Compaq "portable" with a tiny 5-inch orange/black screen with 2 5.25" floppies. It was more like a suitcase than a modern-day laptop. Using an external modem (1200bps IIRC) I could dial directly to the mainframe. |
