Yeah, cycles per second/Hz doesn't really make sense for a data transfer rate.. I was familiar with characters per second.
Think anyone involved with BBSing back then was familiar with characters per TL>second. :)
Oh, my baud. <G> I remember the days of 300, 1200, 2400, 9600, 14400, 28800, and 33600 baud.
Or, "My name is Baud -- James Baud". <G>

Which was actually used incorrectly for almost all of those speeds. Only 30 TL>(and 1200/75) were accurate in baud, as they were 1 bit/symbol. The other TL>speeds used QPSK or QAM, which had multiple bits/symbol, so the baud rate wa TL>not the same as the bitrate.

I also remember the 110 and 75 baud settings...that's showing my age.

I remember those too. 300 was painfully slow.

That's what my acoustic coupler TRS-80 modem did from Radio Shack,
with its MC-10 Micro Color Computer, and logging on to CompuServe. As I upgraded modems, they were either Hayes or US Robotics.

I never used an acoustic coupler. Closest I ever came was a dumb modem.
... Change is good; especially when it relates to underwear.

But, in a nudist colony, or on a nude beach, you don't worry about
that. Besides, that's how you can tell who the blind man is at a nudist wedding -- it's not hard. <G>

I think I recall 45.45 baud was 60WPM BAUDOT (not ASCII).
Am I close? ? ??? ??? ? ?
Yep. Dumb modems were the ones with the speed and answer/originate switch. V>You'd set the modem to "originate" to dial a BBS, then call the BBS manually V>the attached phone. When the BBS answers, flick the other switch from "phone V>to "data".

Truth though is that happens a lot less often than you'd think in a nudist V>setting, even though it's the subject of the #1 FAQ by men. :)

Daryl Stout wrote to VK3JED <=-
That's how the first modem I had was set up. A toggle switch to
answer or originate. You dialed the phone number manually. When the
other line picked up, you clicked the modem switch to originate, then
hung up the phone.
With the terminal program and a Hayes or US Robotics modem, it dials
the number, connects, then disconnects, with the program and modem commands.
From what I understand, it's like the medical professionals. You get used to seeing nudity to where it doesn't phase you anymore. Yet, I
know some folks who don't want to go to the doctor, as they don't want them to see them naked. Like it's something they haven't seen??
Hello??!!

Besides, the OB/GYN doctor sees you at birth, and the mortician sees
you after you're deal. I've yet to know a baby come out in a tux or a
dress. And, you don't even want to think of what's coming in about 8

I had an issue with drug abuse abuout 10 years ago, I went to a Drug
Court for treatment (MOST WORK) but once you learn how to pull you
pants, drawers all the way down to your ankles and urinate on demand
it's something you HAVE to learn to get used to. and if you are serious about your recovery, it works, I've been ckean for more than 10 years
Yeah, I can imagine they'd be putting you under the microscope, so to speak, to make sure you're staying clean while in rehab.

Apparently so, yeah didn't know that was done at 8 days. I don't remember!

The reason for that is that the blood clotting mechanism skyrockets
on the 8th day after birth...so, there's not a ton of bleeding when
it's done.
mark lewis wrote to Tony Langdon <=-
yeah, i don't know where that eight days came from... i'm aware of
several who were done within the first three or four days... when my oldest was born, we were out of the hospital and home in four days...

Oh, OK. And these days, babies aren't kept in hospital that long.

When my younger sister was born 40 years ago, babies were kept in hospital for 6-7 days, but yes, it does seem to be 3-4 days these days.

It's like "drive through childbirth" or "drive through surgery". The main reason is that the insurance companies don't want to pay a ton of money for an extended hospital stay. Yet, they would love to have you
as a policyholder, and paying them the premiums.

I think I have all you beat. Turnarounds for births in Alberta (and probably most of Western Canada) are pretty quick. My daughter was born
in June, 2007 at about midnight. She went home before noon the next
day. That was less than a 12-hour turnaround.
When I was born (1976), my mom said that she stayed in the hospital for about a week. Somewhere around the mid-90's is when they made huge cutbacks in health spending in Alberta, and stays for births and
certain surgeries were massively cut back to where they are basically in-and-out.
I love having public healthcare, don't get me wrong, but you can definitely see a stark difference in the level of care when the
taxpayers are paying for it. Especially in wait times for non-critical care.
