Dialup internet... in HD
« on: Sat, 07 April 2012, 16:32:26 »
Ahhh, dialup :-D

Back in the days when people weren't yet quite as spoilt and rude as they are now, we actually *valued* getting online, because it took effort. Nowadays, everyone walks around with this self-satisfied air of "entitlement" and pointless addiction to 24/7 connectivity and web presence, wherever they are... makes me sad.

Value what you have, it's ALL just temporary.

I dug out an old V92 modem (these things used to be £50+) and got it connected, for your delectation:

Oh man whenever I buy anything the first thing that goes is that protective clear plastic tape ... watching that made me nostalgia hard and then get very anxious about the tape you left on the front there

edit: also ... nice name

Hah, I still remember my first 14.4 Kbps modem and when I upgraded to 28.8 and I thought, man, that was fast! lol

I used to go to sleep while downloading the latest version of Netscape over the phone line hoping no one calls ('cause then I'd have to restart the download >< ).
