remember when you had dial-up

[Samus Aran]

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?

[Kalahari Inkantation]

no

[ME##]

we had a second phone line just for dial-up.  so, no.

[YPrrrr]

Yes, luckily we got a second phone line when I moved. I can't believe I was even able to play MMOs over dial up actuallly

[silvertone]

remember the 90s...remember space jam and fred durst...

[YPrrrr]

I still have no idea who Fred Durst is

[bluaki]

I never used dial-up

[Samus Aran]

these damn youngsters

[Thyme]

No, never had it. I first got internet access at home in 2005.

[bluaki]

It's not necessarily that I'm too young, but rather it took my family way too long to even own a computer

Our first one was bought at the very end of 2005, at a point where all my classmates had and used their computers for school assignments and I was weird for not having one. We first had DSL only for a couple months then Verizon installed fios in our area before I could even become accustomed to DSL.

I joined Nsider within like one month of first having Internet access

[Wrench]

I still have no idea who Fred Durst is

I Google'd him and still don't know

[Nyerp]

[Commander Fuckass]

I had AOL dial-up for two weeks maybe?

then my dad got pissed that it was so shitty he switched to DSL

my grandma finally stopped using AOL dial-up last year

she'd been with them for literally my entire life up to last year

[The Hand That Fisted Everyone]

We had internet for a few months back in like 98. My sister used to chat on icq alot, and my mom never used it, and I would go to the nintendo website and create my own yoshi.

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

my mom canceled the internet two days later.
