What's sad is most of the younger kids don't know of a time without the internet.
I still remember the days 56k days like it was yesterday. Took 5 minutes just to log on..and whenever someone needed the phone or picked up the phone they knocked you off.
i remember fuckin just yelling at my brother to no end because he would pick up the phone and it would lag the shit outta my WoW game

yes, once some dude told me to type /camp (equivalent of F10 in source) in the middle of OG (major town)
it took my about 10 mins of downloading player locations for me to be able to move in that city.
Oh god, nostalgia is awesome. I remember being at my friends house, way back when we first got online with PSO. We'd unplug his 56k connection to dupe items. Fucking win.
I remember having to go watch TV for 45 minutes while my computer downloaded a 1.0MB file.

I don't understand this one. F10 is bound to something?

LOL @ BBS's, I actually built a modem interface for my TI-83 and got onto BBSs using that + a 9600baud modem I ganked off my old Apple-II.

Found a post on my car forum of a guy who used
