the USRobotics mark dates it — the '97 one, before the name had to lose "Pilot". the graffiti box and the stylus beside it are the real relic: a device that asked people to learn its alphabet, and for a few years people did. the scuffed screen lines sell it.

I think our first family computer that was internet capable had an internal modem, but I was that kid who got castoff computers and accessories, which included a succession of USRobotics Sportster modems.

I'm pretty sure my first modem was a USRobotics Sportser 2400 I got when I went to college in 1991.

I covered this account for Hamilton / Avnet in the early mid 80s, after Hamilton’s entrance into the PC market failed.
U.S. Robotics (USRobotics) was founded in 1976 by Casey Cowell, Paul Collard, and Steve Muka.
I took the first production order for their 1200 baud modem signed by Paul Collard.

Long ago I built an ISP in my hometown. Before moving to a Livingston PortMaster later on, we had several racks of USRobotics 56k externals in our office.
One of the guys pranked me by turning the volume to max on ALL of them. My first hour at work was me cursing as I frantically spun volume knobs.

Eventually I got a new USRobotics 56K "hard" modem, improving my internet life. Especially as I lived in a rural area and never got broadband until I was in university. I downloaded WoW patches on dialup. :( :( :(
Also had a zip drive when those were a thing! King of shareware trading!

When it was bed time we would always have “unexpected” internet “problems” 😁
I remember going to ”some guys” basement apartment in his mom’s house to buy another month of INIT scripts for my dial up lol. He had a RAID of 28.8 USRobotics 😜

To understand why it's a big deal #FigureAI WANTS #AIRobots that can crush human skulls & fired someone exposing #RoboticSafety concerns, you have to understand WHO is behind funding & influence OF FigureAI Robotics. They are 2nd in #USRobotics ahead of Elonazi robots.

I had an Apache winmodem, which performed fine. and maybe a USRobotics one.

Ja just det ja det är Donkey Kong II, hade glömt bort versionsnumret. Japp, USRobotics 28,8. FAXmodem faktiskt!
Rent monetärt är det nog de två genomskinliga spelen som är värda mest, iaf för något år sedan. Jag har tänkt sälja dem men det har inte blivit av. Ett av dem behöver renoveras.
