My first modem were 2 cans with string attached

You had cans . . . and string? :eek:

You are soooo lucky. We had to use bonfires on hilltops - which really sucked when it was raining. Not only did the fires tend to go out but the scribe's ink would get so smudged you couldn't read the message.

YOU COULD READ? When I was a whippersnapper, the only folks who could read were royalty, lords, and church scribes.
