I still have it at home. They told me I couldn't get broadband or high speed because of where I stay.

Remember when AOL would inundate your house with CDs for their service? My sister and I would use them as frisbees

ahh back in the old days of prodigy and AOL.

upgrading from 2400 to 14.4 was awesome, it only took me 1 hour and 40 minutes to download a .avi video that was 10 megabytes

I started BBSing in the early to mid 80s...with a TI99/4A home computer and a 300 baud modem. I got broadband in '99.

Now, I'd never go back to dialup...well, I'd be tethering to my cell phone or getting an aircard.
