what is your nostalgic moment using dial up internet?

Windoze 3.1 back then.

Had Netscape, Internet Explorer, Telnet, ICQ, mIRC and AOL IM.

Used to telnet into several BBSes namely Brinta, ISCA and Shadow.

Hahahaha... used to be quite the big deal to receive an email back then... who'd have known there would be a time in future that one could have too many work related emails. Used to need to have a telnet client in order to check the uni emails.

Hohohoho..... back then a true sign that you're an internet junkie is when during the uni term breaks you'd dial long distance just to access your uni email laugh.gif

Soooooooo thankful during freshman year of uni internet was by means of an ADSL 512KB line and in my junior year we had a 1Mbit fibre line in our dorm rooms.
