I still think of you as being on dialup.

I seem to remember finding most of the bits for that PC in the attic when we moved in, now I think back to it. Internet's so easy nowadays.

Everything's easy these days. Kids today don't know they're born.

:')

Networking stuff feels kinda... crude, still. It's still an absolute pain in the arse to get devices talking to eachother sometimes. And online gaming, if upnp doesn't work, is still as wank to set up as it used to be. Stuff should be easier by now.

I've moved house and my (fibre :Y ) internet hasn't been installed, so I pressed a button on my mobile and turned it into a wifi hotspot and connected my computer to it.

I'm sure you downloaded the Windows XP Pro Corp CD on dialup and put it on a CD and posted it to me.

I remember downloading XP betas on dialup. By the time one had finished another build had leaked!

Haha :D

I remember waaaaay back when we all used to stay up late when there was going to be a HL/CS update. And then we'd all rush to the FTP servers to be the first to play it.

That was fun :Y

Isn't it funny how time erases all those terrible memories, only leaving fuzzy warm ones.  I remember how exciting just being on the internet was.  It felt so fresh and exciting!  I still wouldn't go back and use dialup again though.

I would. Take me back, Ken!

Take me back before the last September, where we can all be fresh and young and free.

Take us back to the days of forever, before the gifs and the spam and the fucking FB.

Bring us back to the better times, let us rebuild this mess, and help make me happy. :)

I do miss when the Internet was primarily just geeks. I remember vividly being the only person I knew with Internet access and nobody really quite understanding it.

I also remember a great time when the unwashed masses couldn't use Facebook. It was just the unwashed students back then.
