Dial-up is like viewing the internet in slow motion

[Fenris]

Damned holidays! I want my Ethernet back! Why must by parents live in the dark ages of 1996?!x(

Okay, to be fair, their computer is much better than mine. But what the hell is all this technology for if the machine still takes the short bus to the internet?

(Ed. - when I previewed this message, the above smilie took two entire seconds to load - two seconds!)

4. My dad has a kick-ass computer, too. And he uses dial-up as well.

Stuff takes FOREVER to load on his machine, but he thinks it's fine, and he's frugal. Good thing for me I'm willing to splurge on broadband!

5. Dial-Up Intenet is true anti-christ...

Never again will turn to those horrible days; you have my sympathy..
