Speed!: August 20, 2004



surfinstyle.jpgI am in the middle of an office move, which forces me to finally deal with (i.e. throw out) the shelves of old magazines left behind by my predecessor. This cover from the August 1996 NetGuide made me smile: oh yeah, V.34 modems at 28.8 Kbps were so speedy. Or, at least they were considered speedy, eight years ago. Nowadays, they'd choke on most high-end Web sites.
It makes you stop and realize just how quickly things are happening, how quickly the technology is changing.
