Remember back in the day when you had dial-up, and your parents was like.....

[night marcher01]

"Don't use the internet, i'm waiting for an important phone call!"

 

[krazychino]

Those were the days.... 

 

[asianplayer]

I remember I got in trouble at school and I was afraid they would call my house, so I just stayed on the Internet. lol

 

[mags on fire]

the dial up sound

 

[whyhellothere]

couldn't go online until 8:30
waiting 10-15 minutes for 1(one) mp3
waiting 20-30 minutes to fap to a 30(thirty) second clip from a scene
giving teachers my aol dial up number

 

[carloszilla]

[ruxxx]

No,but I remember being over my boy's house and every damn time someone called it was a WRAP

 

[brianilla]

YES!

Who also remembers trying to download something from Kazaa or Napster... and having to leave the computer over night in hopes that it finished?

Those dial-up days tho

Didn't even bother downloading songs. I just waited until I went to my friends house

 

[newera202]

 

i still have my aol account till this day!

 

[pr0phecy718]

kinda related but I remember buying a cd burner for 300 dollars thinking that I was doing it 

and since then, i've learned it's best to be patient when it comes to technology and price. Because they always go down in price.

That's true, but then you'll always be behind.

AOL chatrooms were my first source of online lulz

 

[boss tycoon 408]

My sister would always be online 24/7.
Had to threaten her buy using the phone just to get on

My great grandma had web tv.

But me and someone were just taking about AOL and dial up last night.

 

[lebronics]

My fam was too cheap for AOL, we used Netzero.

 

[cosmiccanon]

Not getting internet til high speed, don't know that feeling brah.

 

[baseballer10p]

it was opposite for me. if i was on the internet and someone called, i would get disconnected and the phone would ring

EDIT - too many starcraft games were lost that way
