I invested way more time in designing this then I should have, but the original was brittle and breaking and I didn’t want this slice of early Internet to disappear into a landfill.

    I am really confused about the way you spelled “modem”. Did you use OCR to write this post? Or have you never heard the word said out loud?

      I’m confused how I would have written that as well. Coincidental for sure. I think I did have “modern” in the title initially and didn’t realize editing left it since it’s similar. I dunno.

      I speak English and I’m actually old enough to know what modem stands for, unfortunately 😂.

      edit: It was autocorrect apparently. It happened again and was almost impossible to detect because of the similarity.

        I thought I had something on my screen at first 😅. And that’s not that old, I consider myself to be relatively young, and clearly remember using a 56k modem.
