loooooooooooooooool

It reminds me of sites from '96

56k modem in the house.

I miss hearing my tower rattling when booting up, and green text.

Also dial up connecting was fun too.

Oh 9600 modems...., 56K was blazing fast. Sweet noise of connecting.

Like year ago, before switching to fiber, I had some serious SNR issues with my ADSL and I asked my ISP if old school dial-up ppp/ppp is still working (in case of nuclear Armageddon I have one 56K modem (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif) just in case). Reaction was more or less:

Uhm... what?! I don't know. Must ask about that.

Good giggle. (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) [just like that picture with definition of 'poor' above ha, ha]

eh twitter:
The power failure is temporary. Superior Dalek Pony technology will overcome interference shortly. Meanwhile you will obey!

Oh 9600 modems...., 56K was blazing fast. Sweet noise of connecting.

And everytime I see that avatar I'm reminded of all the Tie Fighter/Dark Forces played back in the day with a serial port connected joystick. (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif)

When we first got dial-up it was horrendously slow, we kept complaining to our isp and they couldn't find the problem eventually they gave us a discount. Then I checked when the modem that my parents had gotten from a friend was a 56k modem and it turned out to be like a 2.2k modem lol. Even the tech dudes missed that.

When we got HFC installed, the tech dude was funny he wore glasses, wasn't shaven and had wore his work uniform shirt unbuttoned over a beach boys shirt. When he installed it, he asked what I was going to do with the new connection after 56k and I said I didn't know, so he dipped his glasses and started singing about porn, movies and warez. However then my ISP was bought out by Singapore and they are the fun police.

Somehow, I got this mental image of some puppets singing about what the internet is for as I read that.

playing HV is not contributing, it's just playing a game

I agree playing HV is doing jack shit but it's brilliance I think is it as a bait to reel in gamers to hang around here.

Never one to be subtle, are you? lol.

Its a good point, what year did that come out? I saw that much later, but maybe it had been quite common by then. I got broadband around 2000.

Avenue Q first started in 2003.
