Scrotum Modem

this rockin' mofo has yet to give up on me:



The word "office" takes on new meaning with our portable modem. Just snap it to your Palm V organizer at home or while traveling, and you can access your desktop PC in less than a minute. Speedy 33.6 Kbps modem connection allows for easy data exchange of e-mail, address, and date book. The modem is compatible with any standard phone line; you can also make the connection via your analog or GSM wireless phone (GSM Upgrade Kit sold separately).

gently caress YEAH

modem facts:

did you know that modem is short for modulate/demodulate?
some modems can be internal and some are external
most modems are serial devices that use "com ports"
you have to have a free IRQ for your com port. i prefer to use "com 3"

Isn't this just another kids these days rant? By most standards I'm pretty successful career wise but something I've consistently noticed is I never have any guaranteed stability, it's kindof hard to be entirely gungho about your job when you have no idea if you're going to be working there for more than a year. Same with things like starting a family or whatever, it seems like we have a generation full of people who are perpetually on probationary periods where they have no idea whether or not they're going to have to move halfway across the country for their next position. I work with post-docs who are doing their second or third post-doc it's ridiculous. If anyone is entitled nowawadays it seems like employers that can't make any promises but expect you to work like you owe the company something are the ones out of touch.

See that block marked "Learning Center", on the right? Yeah. I worked there. I went in one day looking for assistance with some problems in advanced evolutionary genetics. When they saw what I was asking, they decided I knew enough about basic Bio to be one of their tutors, so they offered me a job.

I was paid in minutes.


For those of you too young to remember, there was a time when online access to services like this were a monthly fee, but to get to their "Premium Services", you paid by the minute. I was paid in premium access minutes.

Which I got to use over a 1200 baud modem.
