Remember the old days (of the internet)?

[KingBlack]

when...

-dial up connection
-getting kicked offline when someone called your land line
-you paid for connections by the minute
-if you didnt have a local dial up number, you paid long distance fees while online
-geocites
-napster!!!!!!!
-taking 15 minutes to download a song
-waiting 15 minutes to download a song only to find out the file is crap
-y2k
-never ever ever ever ever admitting you met your girlfriend online

People PC.
I also remember my parents getting pissed because they couldn't get through with a call because we were on-line.

 

[Silverstrike]

Oh yes the whole hearing a dial tone and then dialing a number over the computer speakers before being online. Memories.

Writing code on your Apple 2 so you could speed up Choplifter.
Driving over to the computer center so you could get on DARPANET and play chess.

 

[Thump_rrr]

Those were the same times as when hairy vag was the norm.
Neither should make a comeback.

I remember grabbing AOL demo discs whenever I saw them for the free minutes haha. Some friends and I would get on AOL chat rooms, look up random girl's profiles to find out their boyfriend's name, then pretend to be the boyfriend and break up with them. Maybe that was the start of cyber-bullying??

I used to like the aol floppy disks for the free storage media.
