Title: 11 Oct 2013: it's... 1980
Post by: RGMike on October 11, 2013, 09:45:17 AM: Renee's clue this AM was "the year the modem was invented" -- depending on who you believe, that's either 1977 (which we did the other day) or 1955 (not gonna happen). So I'm guessing that was the wrong promo.

ETA: 1980 -- which we did 2 weeks ago. Whatevs. PLEASE no repeats, RR.

I wonder if that's the reason I hate it so much. Not because of the A's connection per se, but because songs tied to sports generally get ruined for me when they play it incessantly. As a Raider fan, I never ever need to Hells Bells again.

On the other hand, "You Shook Me All Night Long" is just dandy. BOS2.

Renee's clue this AM was "the year the modem was invented" -- depending on who you believe, that's either 1977 (which we did the other day) or 1955 (not gonna happen). So I'm guessing that was the wrong promo.

What a dumb clue. The technology dates back to the middle of the 20th century and possibly
earlier; the term modem first appeared in the late '50s when their wide-spread by the
U.S. military began; and the first commercial modems were offered for sale in the early 1960s.
The closest thing would be the introduction of the Hayes Smartmodem, which occurred in 1981.
