$70 Modem...

[KhoiFather]

I remember my dad buying me a 56K US Robotic modem like 6-7 years ago for like $180. That's nuts dude

how can apple sell a gigabit NIC for $100 with G5s?

That's nothing, I saw a $130 hardware modem not long ago, believe it was at Newegg but not positive. I laughed as well 😛 Price makes sense though; economics of scale drive price, and not many people buy modems anymore, especially not hardware ones. You see the same thing with Macs.

:laugh: Posting on this board in your 20s makes you feel old before your time, I feel like a crusty old man for the most part when I'm here 😉
