i remember when i was caught without a broadband connection... i refused to use dial up. i'd rather not see the internet at all.

goBigtime · 05-17-2003, 10:57 PM

I've been there before & I feel for ya.

jact · 05-17-2003, 10:58 PM

I was stuck with 26,400 baud dialup for a year and a half, only got back to broadband last month.. I feel your pain.

Yes, my brethren. I, too, know what it feel like, to go from high bandwidth to low bandwidth. You must believe. Believe in the day where you suffering will end, and, your happiness will begin.

hahah, i remember when i was younger, and all the rage was at 28.8 or whatever, and i went to visit family. well, i was on a bbs a lot then, so i wanted to get on. all i had at my disposal was an ibm pcjr and a 300 BAUD MODEM. lol, i literally watched my email come in LETTER BY LETTER. great times.

A few months after I got married we found a kick ass house for a great price. I told my wife we weren't moving if they didn't have high speed, luckily they did. I CAN NOT live over shit internet.
