For a while, my BBS had an elaborate ANSI closing screen. Took a second or two to draw at a reasonable speed, but I once sat in front of the screen watching someone connect to the BBS long distance at 300 baud. He didn't seem to realize that he could hit the space bar to cut off the graphics. And since it was drilled into everybody's head that disconnecting was rude, he let the entire closing graphic play until I had sympathy on him and hit the space bar.My 14.4k modem was so expensive because I insisted on the USRobotics HST Dual Standard. A single standard just wouldn't cut it! |
