Remember Dial up?
I remember back in 1997 when I first got my computer. It had the Pentium 1 processor which looked like it was made of solid metal and weigh almost a pound. And when Windows 95 was the OS of the time. Back then, I remember the internet to me was dial up and how you cant make outgoing calls while you are logged online, etc
Then years later when I got DSL for the first time, it was just amazing

I always liked those staticy noises they make when loading.

All through high school, my computer was an old 386 with a 120 MB HD. Freshman year of college, I got a new computer, and it had a 2 GB HD. I thought "wow, how would anyone ever use up this much disk space?"
I have a buddy who didn't stop using dial-up until LAST YEAR. I didn't even know you could still get dial-up service.

Of course I remember dial-up, back when I was on a 266-MHz Pentium II with 64-MB RAM (which I received as a Christmas present in 1997, when I was in 6th grade). My 56K was so slow that I couldn't even download 25-MB game demos without waiting for days (and using download management software), so I usually just played whatever was available on the CD-ROMs that came with "PC Gamer". Ah, those were the days...

I remember playing Tribes at my friend's house. It was my first online gaming experience. It was awful. Barely any players on gigantic maps, and everyone cheated.
