He probably meant to post it on his Facebook wall for his "gear head" friends.

Dude, you are doing it wrong.


You throw that in the middle of somebody else's thread at the appropriate time you don't start with it since there is nowhere left to go.

I was an internet pioneer with my first connection in 1992. Yep, dial up connections, 3 day long download to one floppy disk and text only webpages. I have grown with it.

They have been around since the beginning afiak. Pictures would load top down so you could cancel the image download if you didn't think it would be worth your 5 minutes to compete the image. When I got my 2.4bps modem it really speeded things up

And it was so normal we didn't think anything of it.
I still recall the first time a whole pic immediately popped up at once. I sat in shock for the whole time it should have taken to download.

Warez sites. 4mb at a time per 4 hour sitting. Weeks to download anything. Then half the time something was corrupted anyway.

When you had to order car parts through magazine ads... Pre internet days were the best.

Or ask the guy at the speed shop to get it in for you.

And speculation on the next great thing was three lines in a magazine comment section and responses took 2 months.

Oh... And you actually had to learn how things worked and get a book to read yourself instead of just asking.

You would run the pkzipfix utility to try to fix your corrupted zip file (never worked) then hop back on netscape navigator and piss your parents off some more while you hogged the phone line downloading "BigRedRacing_USDemo.z07" again.

The first time I got broadband I didn't even know what to do with myself

DJCarbine 08-12-2015 08:18 PM

But yeah, back on topic... it takes me 15 seconds to locate my shampoo in the store, but hours of shopping online and 10X the cost later some boutique car shampoo is next day aired from the Shire

Dove Shampoo ftw.

I remember dial up 'adult surfing.' Right in the middle of loading and it would cut off with the incoming phone calls.

You didn't add the call waiting cancel prefix with a pause on your AT string?

Amateurs!
