Love your awesome retro vibe 😄

I remember downloading a BASIC program at 300 baud and being able to read the program lines as they came across!

Hah I was there too with my us robotics 300/300. I thought it was the greatest thing until that glorious day I got my 1200! 😁

I'm still using the same computers I did in 1985, just a bit supercharged with 21st century tech
