Yup, for some reason we still had a V.92 modem kicking around in the closet. No idea why. I'm getting basically everything you see here thrown out now. Time to clean all of this stuff out.

Yeah, that's the reason why I don't like IT books. They are like computers, outdated the second you put them in the basket.
I have like maybe 10 myself, mostly reference books. I do stick to Google for the most part.

I think a lot of it was a culture of feeling that books were antiquated. But material that is good in books and material that is good online are not often the same.

Unless you also had one, that would have been mine, from roughly 2002. I remember it clearly.
