@@JeremyHobbs whatever your hardware, there is always someone that had even less at an earlier date. Even I had a less powerful computer in the mid 80's (when Z80 were popularer)
You know what... these are usually quite silly but this one would actually have made sense back then. It's basically just a streamlined FTP-frontend with a Commander-type interface =)
I think drop box will work on much powerful 16 bit platform. Amiga 2000 already have an internet support and exists in 1988. Amiga computers was the only powerful personal computer back then because it have a built-in custom hardware accelerator.
Hi, does this support EGA 6 bit color images like .pcx? I have some 320x200 high resolution images of some freeze frames of my BETAMAX of Return of the Living Dead. Linnea Quigley pops her top off in that graveyard scene and she has some real nice guns.
Ya know, if I saw this back in the Eighties, I would have thought this was the greatest thing in the world. Love her slamming the keys on her keyboard!
Thank you for all your comments, Steve I. Your comments were in the "likely spam" folder because you find everything "stupid" and "dumb". Let me explain to you why you are wrong: 1) There were more protocols and systems. "It was called BBS" suggests that there was only one system. Nope. 2) A BBS could allow file dumping, but never 10 megabytes to a specific person, especially not in 1988. Disk space was very expensive in those days. Mass sharing is not the same as sending somebody files. 2) The phone call notification as presented in my video didn't exist either. 3) A BBS wasn't always accessible. You may not have experienced the struggle, but when the lines were busy, you had to wait or try again. Some had only one phone line!
The insanity of sending files over a 2400 baud modem... I can’t even imagine the unfathomable surcharges that they would’ve charged per byte... and the long-distance surcharges combine with that would probably have bankrupted the average person.
I'd think it's because in this timeline, technology is more advanced than it is nowadays, causing widespread use of the Internet. Therefore, the price is lower due to market machanics.
In our real World, only big enterprise and universities could use network systems to Share files on 1980's. Regular consumers which paid for a modem could use local BBS by dialing a Number to connect a remote computer server, and use electronic mail and file sharing. The prices was too high to be affordable.
Man.... it took me a while to believe it was editing these videos hahahahaha The VHS effect was 100% perfect. Now what i liked the most was when you hit the enter key with a punch. Good think it's an old keyboard with an iron plate inside hahah Perfect and won another subscriber.

@@DivinityIsPurity I already know this, and the fact that i grew up in the late 80's and 90's it is pretty obvious. FTP, and IRC was already a thing along side BBS servers, and they still exist you NUMPTY!
Used to love Alley Cat. But if this did actually exist in 1987 you would need to either have a dedicated BBS.. or make a Fidonet type setup where multiple BBSes in different locations share the files to each other.
The only thing missing from this video is Damiani's Dropbox looking bad because it was designed to use code page 437 and ee is using 926 or something, very common problem back then for us Latin American folks.
10 megabytes really sealed the deal for me. By the way, if our diskettes don't survive shipping, how do Dropbox's diskettes survive?! Wake up, sheeple!!!
And just, think, you can transfer an entire 360k floppy disk to Dropbox with a 24oo, $400 modem in only 30 mins and just $3/min connection charges! Wow! What could be easier?!
I would have loved this actually in the 80's Had to send a 1MB pkzip file every now and then to customers with software-updates and it was always a hassle to get the connection right, using kermit or x-modem on a 1200 baud modem... and when the connection was lost because someone took up the phone, you had to start all over again....
Was dat nog zo'n modem waarbij je de telefoonhaak op de modem moest leggen? :D Those were the days. *Edit* Lees nu dat 1200 de maximumsnelheid was van een "acoustically coupled modem" maar handig lijkt het mij niet.
Daarvoor ook nog wel gebruikt, maar niet veel voor bestandsoverdracht. Meer voor korte terminalsessies. Maar ook mid 80's hadden meeste MKB's geen aparte datalijn, dus telefoon opnemen was einde verhaal
