Thought this might be of interest here as it’s all pretty obsolete now. Especially the “modem settings” routine.  1994? 1994??? Christ!  I guess it was what it was. I still have an external 3½ USB drive. May try “installing” it later tonight to see what happens?
Anyway it didn’t make me the next “Bill Gates” but I made enough money to buy a Corvette for my 16th birthday some years later. Invested the rest.
Eventually this venture became the basis for the market research consulting firm I now own.
Last picture. Black of course. Six speed manual. Z51 suspension. HUD. At my parent’s home in Michigan. Spring Break 2000. Would’ve taken Dove Cameron  out but she was only 4.  |
The background information is very interesting.
I especially like the modem settings. That brought back a lot of memories. I've still got my booklet on modems and baud rate (part of my trade and I had to know it all). I'll have to pull it out to see if I can find any little nuggets in there to pass on.
