Not as slow as 300 baud.
Sparta grabbed the meme for $300. Will we post pictures of dial-up modems for $56k?
My first Model was a 28.8k High Speed Machine ...
Btw... Watch the movie hackers. They talk about super fast 28.8k Modems
My first 300 baud modem didn't even connect automatically.
You had to listen for the modem at the other end and manually flip a switch.
Ah, those were the days... cassette tape i/o, command line UI, system RAM measured in kilobytes, saving up to buy a FDD controller and drive... but we felt so cutting edge at the time... kinda like Bitcoin a few years back.
My first computer ... Robotron KC 85/3 (Made in GDR)

Mine was a Sinclair ZX Spectrum 48K. Made in the UK. Featured here in an earlier post. Still have it (complete with box, PSU and "Horizons" cassette tape). Still working (last time I checked, 30 years ago).
