  • 300 Baud Issue 02
    No. 2 - MAY 2010 #"6% ONLINE DESTINATIONS IN THE ERA OF 300 BAUD BY MICHEAL H. MCCABE ISSUE NO. 2 – MAY 2010 300 Baud: The title of this publication implies something more than simple hobbyist retro- computing. It implies telecommunication – something that we’re all familiar with now Once upon a time, there were three little girls who went to the police academy. And they were each that we have the Internet in all its glory. It begs the question though, with whom were we assigned very... no wait, that’s not right! communicating in the days of 8-bit systems, 300 baud modems, and usurious telephone rates? I hope this article can shed some light on the nearly forgotten online destinations of Once upon a time, there were two guys who were chatting away on the RetroChallenge BBS, who the 1970s and early 1980s. then came up with an idea... that idea was 300 Baud Magazine. And after much huffing and puffing the first issue made it out the door. It wasn’t as easy or as smooth as it should have been, but we made it through. DESTINATION 1: TIMESHARING SERVICES Thank you to everybody who gambled and bought the first issue; a double-thank-you, to the people If we travel back in time a few years, we find that the first real “online destination” for many who told their friends about it and who then bought an issue; and a triple-thank-you to those who got computer hobbyists was a mainframe or minicomputer timesharing system.
