   It's 1984, your C64 is switched on, currently loading a brand new game called Impossible Mission off a floppy disk, your best friend is on his way to your house bringing MORE disks (he downloaded tons of stuff last night), an extra joystick, a movie-sized pack of Reese's Pieces and a 2-liter of root beer in his backpack. You don't know it yet, but this is as good as life gets.

     @amigalove Are you sure 1984 "...downloaded tons of stuff last night..." 🤔 even with 300bps is "tons of stuff" in one night a bit to much I think?

     @skubo Bulletin Boards (BBSes), and 300 baud modems. Slower than tape, but it was like mining for REAL gold.
