Mike Goatly@BadDogMonkeyboy @djlink There must be a subtle childhood conditioning here, because I was very happy to patiently sit and watch that (and imagine the sounds too, obviously!) , but very disappointed when it didn't actually start the game once finished.

Rod Begbie@BadDogMonkeyboy I can still recognise a SCREEN$ loading by audio alone
Hello, yes, this is Gregly@BadDogMonkeyboy @djlink Not here in the US, though… the Apple II dominated the 8-Bit Wars here, and most of them had floppy drives (due to Woz’s ludicrously cheap implementation). The first time I saw a Datasette for a C64 as a kid, I was blown away… software? On *cassette tapes!?* What madness! 😅
Steve-o Stonebraker@djlink I couldn't find a picture of Telix or ProComm Plus actually in the process of dialing, so this will have to suffice.

Jim Jones@djlink my wife and I used to call this "talking to Mr. Bing Bong." As in, "I'm sorry that you kept calling and the phone was busy. I was talking to Mr. Bing Bong."

Once I was able to imitate that sound so well on a phone I was getting "somewhere" in the protocol negotiation. I suppose I may be a rare case of "modem a cappella" 😆

@djlink And one can hear it again. Just try https://learn.adafruit.com/adding-basic-audio-ouput-to-raspberry-pi-zero/pi-zero-pwm-audio I spent our recent "hackweek" designing https://github.com/fridrich/pi-zero-analog-audio not to hear it any more :)
Adding Basic Audio Ouput to Raspberry Pi Zero
To keep the Raspberry Pi Zero as low cost and small as possible, the Pi foundation didn't include a 3.5mm audio jack. There's also no breakout pads for the audio output. This made us a little :( at first but then we thought "hey you know, we can probably figure out how to get audio out with a little hacking!

Ryan Campbell@djlink *listens* What the--? This isn't a 14.4 handshake! I need to look up a different ISP number!
pinecones@djlink genuinely don't miss it.
though, I had a dog-shit slow modem connected via parallel port, so that might color how fondly I remember it.
was lucky and lived in a neighborhood with early cable internet. never looked back.
Shadow Heart@djlink 😡why did you have to remind me of that sound?

The Sound of dial-up Internet
Sammy@djlink people should CW the stuff that makes us olds feel old. Please?

oberonsghost@djlink @NewtonMark I miss the sound of modems singing to each other, before going full metal.

M. Scott Ford@djlink I got pretty accurate at being able to tell the speed that I connected at just by listening.
Marcia Darling@djlink it's loud
Khader Syed 🫶🦋@djlink almost immediately started ringing in my head.
Shawn Wildermuth (🇺🇦++)@djlink I think that's 10 types of people
Carlos@carlosramos @djlink Only 10 who can and who can't hear the sound. What's the 11rd reason?
@shawnwildermuth
Those who think they hear.
Ok, it's a bad joke.

@djlink I wasn't allowed online until we could get cable. Even local calls here charged by the second, so my mother knew it would be expensive.
