Children. :)

110 baud here in 1979, and some folks in this crowd remembering my funny
story about the telephone guy having to come out from the central office
and twist two lines together to get the Model I to work at the 300 baud
upgrade, and give me one of the first private telephone lines in town.
(There were 330 residents and about 100 lines available when I moved in.)

Anyway, 27 years later I'm now on 5M/256k with a private local ISP serving
fewer than 1,000 customers. My stepson built the system, Linux-based, all
glass up to the pole 300 feet away.
