Now look here, you & your 56K
Don’t know you’re born
I started off with 9.6!

Nokia Card Phone 2.0
Connected via PCMCIA Slot
Ran on GSM/PCN 900/1800
HSCSD - High Speed Circuit Switched Data
Increased speed from 9.6 Kbps to 14.4 Kbps - YES K not M!
You could “Group” 2 Time Slots to give 28.8 Kbps

Sometimes ya just gotta faff and persevere

Early 80s #Betamax Christening Video arrived for Digitising & putting on a USB Stick

I’ve tried multiple machines & Time Base Correctors. Could not get the thing to Lock. Rolling, constant Dropouts

Tried it in Sony T7, 1979…..

Locked & plays perfectly

Used to have one and used to install them.

They are ok, but don’t really boost

Whatever signal you have outside, is pretty much what they give you inside.

ie - two bars in the garden = two bars in the kitchen

If it’s shit outside, it will still be shit inside

So, Stephen, do you really need 4,538 copies of Don Estelle?

How about you keep the only unsigned one?

Saw this in the Departure Lounge at T3 Heathrow

It’s a sort of montage of IT type tech, hanging off an Oak Tree

USB Dongle / Stick, Mouse, Keyboard. You get the idea

The Disc is without doubt, a CAV Laserdisc. The size, the Sectors

I’m well aware the designer had no idea that’s what they’d done
