Yep, I really miss those days of Internet dialup access and waiting 30 minutes before getting past the busy signal. /s

Mainly because people like me had a second phone line and had the computer autodial the ISP around 4pm before I got home from work. Then I had a program running to access the internet every couple of minutes even when I wasn't there to keep the line active.

And after waiting 30 minutes you got to connect at 300 baud.
