(you had to ask.....(:+}}...)

Probably Cromemco CDOS 0.11, on 81k floppies in a 32k ram box on an ASR33
terminal, 2mhz Z80 cpu, running a primitive kermit, if I am remembering
rightly, although it may have been another telecom ditty.  That 110 baud
thingy was a real killer on the early newsfeeds (1981), since you would
just turn it on and let it run overnight and hope for the best.  But, the
amount of newsfeed dump was not much back then.

That was S L O W....(:+}}... even slower than a 300 baud decwriter.

Modern folks with the 1.4giggie thingies never had it so good.....(:+}}...
