oh man, especially when it would do all the screeching, but then it would fail to connect cuz something was wrong with the provider, then u'd have to keep dialing in and listening to the screeching like 15 times.. ughhh...i was around for the 14.4 kbps modems...

i've actually disconnected the high speed a couple times and gone back to dialup to try to keep my internet use to a minimum, but i always end up coming back. i'm such a fucking data junkie |
