> Why do computers come with ISA slots? Why are 3.5" floppy disk
Not all of them do. Besides, we are NOT that far away from an ISA slot.
There was ISA, EISA, Microchannel, VLB (isa extended), then PCI. There
have been how many advances since 2400? 2400+MNP 5, 9600, 14400, 16800,
19200, 21600, 24000, 28800, 33600, etc... Plus all the new modems are
downward compatible.
> drives still made? Why keep making cars, hell we all got helicopters
Why are 3.5" drives still made? What is the alternative? a zip drive at 10
times the cost?
Your argument is invalid because you are inferring that we should all be
using the latest greatest technology regardless of whether or not we could
afford it. We can ALL afford a 14400 modem (i hope). We cannot all afford
the best car, a helicopter, etc...
> in the garage! Better throw out them Led Zepplin albums...
Now cmon, dont be silly. You are comparing art to technological advances.
I dont think 2400 baud users operate at 2400 baud for nostalgic reasons.
They are FORCED to for whatever reason.
