I do wonder sometimes about modern operating systems.
On my first modem, this update would have taken over 3 months to download.
@thomasfuchs not sure I wanna do the math and see how much time it would’ve taken on my 300 baud one (or even the faster one at 2400 baud I got some years later for my Amiga 😅)… 😁
@thomasfuchs 18,000 or so 800K floppies…
@thomasfuchs
People might forget you exist if you couldn't use a phone for three months. And, three months of service dues just to download that...
@RnDanger it would also have cost at least several hundred thousand dollars to get enough hard disks to store the data, so…
@thomasfuchs
It's only 1,250 floppies per emoji
