Have to admit the SMF avatars are, eh, questionable. Does anyone even know who he is?

Using google developer tools your avatar took 185ms to load, actually the slowest to load on this page,  just be thankful dial up broadband is nearly gone   :-X

What about the "Acoustic Coupler"?

If you were rich you could get a 1200 baud (poor peeps only got 600 baud)

What's "bauds" I hear you youngsters ask? Well its sort of like bits per second (without the Mega or Giga prefix)  but not quite (In telephony and acoustic modems there were 10 bits to the byte IIRC)

"A picture of Dorian Grey" springs to mind.

Hope your attic is safe and sound!!

What vintage would that portrait be Young Tube?
