@sam @djsundog I assure you, the PET's program tapes were far more audibly jarring than the "angry shrieking at the void" of an Internet modem connection sequence.

@djsundog I 1000% do not miss typing in entire programs. (And then, in the case of my Commodore PET 2001, saving them to Actual Cassette Tape Don't Mix These Up With The Audio Cassette Binder They Do Not Rock They Sound Horrible.)
