Before YouTube (2005), before Facebook (2004), before Google (1998) and before the world wide web Jim Howard was online and blogging and doing videos! Have you heard about AOL? Well before America On Line Jim Howard was online and people could log into Howard’s Notebook. Howard’s Notebook began in 1982. People could log into Howard’s Notebook with a computer and a modem. At first, the speed was only 300 baud. But with new modems, people logged in later at higher speeds. Jim Howard had to write his first BBS program. It was written in BASIC. Howard’s Notebook is 36 years old. Jim Howard is 77 years of age. It is time for you all to come home and it is time for those new people to join us. It took you long enough to find us.
