In M. Navy, for 16 years (even as a Master, had to carry all the two daily twilight observations, crossing from China to Argentina).

Had not a personal one (very expensive). In all vessels there were usually two (today, no idea). The first thing you did when signing on as 2nd mate, was to adjust the parallelism of mirror and determine the fixed error (applied to every reading of the vernier). It was quite common that Ch. Officer decided that "his" sextant would be not touched by anyone, just him.

I used dailup modems to contact bbs systems

 

I used dial-up modems in the early 2000s.

I started with those circa 1984.
It was a blazing 1200 baud.
I think my first connection was to Juno email.

 

It was a blazing 1200 baud.

My first modem was 1200 baud download and 75 baud upload.

Just in front of the cafeteria where I take my daily espresso.
Two details: it seems nobody is providing service and the padlock is still there after many many years.

 

Remarkable how the consumer internet connection started at just 1200 baud dial-up, to several megabit DSL, a few hundred megabit Cable, and now gigabit Fiber-optic speeds.

I've experienced the start of TV, solid-state electronics, computers and the internet.
I wonder if today's generation will experience any break-through technology, such as one of those(?).

 

Drop a gear, dump the clutch, and hope the ash tray lighter doesn't fall on your map.

The time & temperature line has been busy all morning.

Anyone seen the TV Guide?

300 baud to the John Galt Line.

I was just going to say "a world without influencers" but you just proved me wrong.
I guess some people needed their guiding light (echo chamber?) back in the day as well.

I need to call and ask for a data book.
