Why is that baud day?  I do not understand.

----------------------------------------------------------------------
roovis-rcs · 2022-02-10 14:28

300bps, 1200bps, 2400bps were the baud rates for modems.

In other news, Feb 16th is BBS Day, marking the birthday of the
invention of the BBS.

The way I do my dates, I missed this.  It was 3/12/24 - December 24,
AD 3.

Yes! That will be the 100th anniversary of the first Baud Day
celebrated on 12/24/1996!  ;-)

Baud Days do not come around too often. 12/24/1996 marked the first
Baud Day with little fanfare as many saw the writing on the wall that
the days of the BBS were numbered due to the rise of the Internet. But
now that the BBS has experienced a renaissance, we get to have our
very own BBS Mardi Gras!  And a celebration it must be as the next
Baud Day will not happen until 12/24/2096!  😉

JohnPolka · 2022-02-10 17:48

Yes, that's a great day too. But Baud Day is like a comet that does
not come around too often. 😉
