Just 3weeks that Trump has been in office, half the country thinks he should be impeached.

Want to see some badass women, watch the movie "Hidden Figures".

Colonel Jim Johnson: They let women handle that sort of...
Colonel Jim Johnson: [sees Katherine looking offended] That's not what I mean.
Katherine Johnson: What do you mean?
Colonel Jim Johnson: I'm just surprised at something so taxing.
Katherine Johnson: Oh Mr. Johnson, if I were you, I'd quit talking right now.
Colonel Jim Johnson: I don't mean no disrespect.
Katherine Johnson: I will have you know, I was the first negro female student at West Virginia university graduate school. On any given day, I analyze the binomial levels air displacement, friction and velocity. And compute over ten thousand calculations by cosine, square root and lately analytic geometry. By hand. There are twenty, bright, highly capable negro women in the west computing group, and we're proud to be doing our part for the country. So yes, they let women do some things at NASA, Mr. Johnson. And it's not because we wear skirts. It's because we wear glasses. Have a good day.
The movie looked very good, one I will for sure watch.

1200b/s is pretty fast for then considering they were using toasters as computers.

It's literally 200,000 times slower than what I have now but still...
I think the slowest I had was a 2400. I had a 4800 break on me once and just drove over to US Robotics. I went around back and found a couple USR guys smoking a joint. They just swapped it out for me. I think they had 7 or 8 employees back then.

When I started dial-up networking, the fastest modems were 300 baud.


I expect trump will want to return to that.

:mrgreen:
