    do you remember dial up?

    rough times, huh? I mean, how many of us turned images off, built sites with 20kb images (max!) and such? Just think about this, GFY on dialup would take 3 or 4 days to load instead of the 4-5 mins it takes with DSL or Cable

    For the kids out there, GFY is a public service to let you know what it was to have dial up: slooooooooooooooow

                  Do you remember dial-up? What kind of question is that? That's like asking "Do you remember September 11th?"

                                      Remember? Hell, I still remember my Hayes codes.

                                      ATDT (dial, digital)
                                      ATPT (dial, pulse)
                                      ATLx (set volume)
                                      ATH0 (hangup)

                                      I don't think I've owned a modem in 12 years.

                                              My two slowest connects were my first portable terminal (TI executive thermal paper terminal) at 300 baud, and my school connection to the mainframe which was 45.45 (baudot, not ASCII). If you ran baudot as a teletype connection (direct terminal to terminal) you could have fun sending shift-unshift over and over, as it would actually shift the platen on the receiving machine and unshift it, like an old style typewriter, but it would do it over and over again... you could almost make the receiving end dance)...

                                              I won't even mention punch cards or paper tape, okay?

                                                  I downloaded redhat 4.x on dial-up... then I found some of the files were corrupted while installing... it was like 300megs on 28.8... I didn't find it much funny.


                                                  A girl once told me "Give me 8 inches and make it HURT".

                                                  So, I fucked her twice and hit her with a brick.
