12000 BPS Fax
I just noticed while faxing in my time sheet — because I'm a fucking "temp" and by "temp" I mean I've been here for almost a year now — and I noticed that this fax machine whizzes by at 12000 BPS. I recall getting on the internet thirteen [good god] years ago on a 9600 baud modem. So have faxes gotten better or was the internets just that slow? I can't remember.

Faxes have been getting faser. I think my first fax / modem faxed at 1200 bps–that was about 20 years ago. My first modem got me on the internet at 300 bps.
It is hard to believe I bought my first personal computer–an Osborne I–in the fall of 1982.
