No, the *real* oldbies were the ones who used computers without a wimpy graphical interface... maybe a printing terminal using a modem switchable between 110 baud and the "high-speed" 300 (like they had at the high school I attended in the early '80s)... or even punch cards (like they also used when I was in high school, taking a class in Fortran).
Ok, stop... you're making me all nostalgic. I think it all started to go downhill when the modems became capable of transferring text faster than you could read it (aka 2400 baud). :]
