How do you write an article about an old modem without the word “baud”?

Nevertheless, I don’t remember this one, the Vic 20 wasn’t super popular in my circle, but dang $99!!! I think my first hays clone was $399 in real 1980s dollars.

I came to say the same thing. “How many baud was it?” is the immediate question anyone familiar with modems would have, but it is nowhere in the text. Only in the image of the advertisement does it say that it is 300 baud. Because people who would want to buy one would want to know.
