What do you mean remember?  I had dial up until 2005.

Rural Montaner is a few steps behind.

and when you were waiting for your mom to get off the phone so you could use the internet, you could try to connect and you'd get to listen to her phone conversation right from the comfort of your computer chair?

hocuspocus;
My sister did that on a few different occasions. And there was also a sweet spot that you could pick up a cordless phone conversation with a walkie-talkie.

I mean I have memories of using dial-up but for the most part I didn't use the internet a whole lot until internet speeds were slightly more reasonable

my household didn't get internet until 2003 maybe and I remember it being a huge operation. my mom got this massive laptop in a box that was about 6ft square for some reason ... she was really concerned about the Evils of the Internet and insisted on checking on me every half minute while I was using her laptop (in the kitchen) ... I didn't really know about the internet yet and was like 'um........ nintendo . com????' and joined NSider a few weeks later lubdoods;

I walked in on my dad watching porn and gambling online (in the same window, no less)


wow lol

edit: i also remember knowing about porn but obviously couldn't investigate on my mom's kitchen computer; I had a desktop in my room but it didn't have internet, and I didn't understand how the fuck internet wires worked at all. to solve this dilemma I tried  plugging a phone line into my computer and installing the software off of a free AOL disc  LMAO .
