Anybody watch MTV on New Years Eve?

Thats sounds interesting, Ill have to check it out. My first 9600 baud connection was to a BBS in about 1993. I used a pay service called GNN (Global Network Navigator), which was later bought by AOL. It came free in "Computer Shopper" magazine so I had to go out and buy a modem and all I could afford was the older 9600's on closeout at Fry's as the 14.4s and new 28.8's were the hot ones now. It was all command line and a pic that was downloaded came over as scrolling interlaced lines, getting better and better resolution. Good thing was that you could get an idea of what the ****..er, PICTURE was going to look like before it was fully downloaded so you could kill it if you didnt want it. Hey, that was and is still the driving force for file transfer innovation on the WWW. We should all be thankful to the **** industry for giving us MPEG and streaming video that we still enjoy today.
