I downloaded an 801mb file in about 45 seconds. That would have easily taken all day on dialup.

I wish that I could go back to the '80s and '90s just to see what it was like.

And the 2000s, come to think of it. I don't really remember that much of them...

My first new computer was a 250mhz with Windows 98. Dialup was still a thing then.

I keep asking all my friends if they know what the dial up is, they all say no. Well except for one. But then all the ones that said no, I ask their parents, “You didn’t teach your child about the dial-up?” One parent said “what’s that?”

There was a Buffalo-based music store franchise called Record Theater. I went in there one day back in the 90s shopping for a VHS movie. A pretty young thing was behind the cash register, so I walked up, smiled , and jokingly asked her "Hi, there...where are the records?"

She looked at me like I'd just landed from another planet. No recognition on her face at all! It was all I could do to not laugh at the poor girl.
