Ah, the good old days.
Remember the ...
Green (or amber, or white) Phosphorus screen...
Dumb Terminals
300 baud (that's 300 bits/sec, or about) modem. You could actually what each line of text 'type' across the screen. You had to math Data bits, Parity bits, Stop bits. 8N1 (8 data bits, No Parity and 1 Stop Bit.) or 7E. Loved to 'hack' the old BBS and tease the operator... Good Times.
Ascii Art - Something else I miss. Today it is much harder to do Ascii Art what with variable space fonts...
Dot Matrix Printers - Those were the good old days. Printing Ascii Art, Banners ... They are still around, but not in the home much, mostly in special business settings.
Those were the good old days of computing.
