I remember, back in the day,  using my 300 baud modem with my C64 to access BBS's (before the internet)  and getting into a HEAP of trouble with my parents when I racked up a HUGE phone bill calling ALL over the USA!

When I upgraded to the Amiga, i was using a parallel port digitizer called Computer Eyes (something like that) to record B&W video to my GIGANTIC 20 meg harddrive!   Wow!

I so wanted to get Newteks Video Toaster back then....but the Amiga 500 wasn't  that upgradeable!
