I found these beauties while digging through some old boxes. Original unused CDs, three of which were in tin containers. Best of all, 4,290 hours of free internet, baby!! Time to fire up the ol’ 28.8 modem!

28.8K? You're living the dream! I started out in the 80's with a 300 Baud Hayes Smartmodem, which cost as much as a laptop does these days.

They also make decent coasters. And if you want some old-school fun, put them in the microwave for a few seconds to make abstract art.
