damn, i occasionally use 56k when i am stuck out on my families ranch, and i can't believe just how fucking slow it really was. i can't even check my email without wanting to fire the keyboard right through my monitor. i remember back in the day when i would set 20 songs to download, and leave my computer conected ALL NIGHT, just so i could burn a cd the next morning. and i thought GFY was slow now...
*shudders* dialup , ah they were the days , having to check and double check to make sure you really wanted that download before you wasted those hours getting it down , in the middle of a download and then the phone rings cutting you off

I remember waiting all night just for 80 MEG PROGRAM.
I wonder how anything got done back then.

it is a nightmare. My worst memory of the experience is the "CLICK" sound of your modem losing connection
I remember aol warez
I remember getting pinged/icmp and diconnected whenever you pissed someone off
i remember using netzero when it was free and ad based
I remember when sending ATH0++ disconnected your modem (typing it something in a post or in a chatroom would disconnect everyone)
i remember watching images load pixel by pixel, line by line
Only dialup I use is with my laptop through my phone!
Yep, that's what reminded me of this. I was excited to get internet on my cingular 8125 but to wait really makes it pointless. I need high speed on my phone

Couple of us gathered around the computer, found a site dedicated to Pamela Anderson with probably 20 pictures. We let the computer sit there and download those 20 pictures, took the whole afternoon. Once loaded, we opened up every picture and added it to Favorites.
This was on a P1 133mhz mind you, cutting edge!
