Yeah I use to be addicted to this yahoo chat room many years ago. Mainly because it was the same 40 people in there so therefore everybody knew everybody on a real name basis. There was no drama, People use to stay in there all day and all night. Literally could lose yourself in there for hours just hanging out.

Made some really good friends in there too that I am still friends with to this day.

Every time I download something that takes longer than i'd like it to I always harken back to things you just spoke of.

When did dial up first come along? And high speed? I actually didn't get high speed internet until about 2005, for whatever reason. That's also when I discovered the wonders of Xbox Live.

dial up been around since the 80s.......

high speed for the civilian world didn't come out mainstream until 1998- 2000. Really wasn't until 2004 that most big populated areas had some form of high speed internet. It was around 2008 or 2009 that PC makers stopped making computers with dial up modems.
