Internet used to be so slow that you had a tv next to the computer so you could keep yourself entertained until the funny picture loaded.

I remember downloading an mp3 took about as much time as listening to it.

Youngin. I remember downloading a song took an hour. Want to download an album? Better clear out your weekend and hope no one else needed the phone

I think my first modem was a 14400. It was so slow, but somehow I was so patient. If I was getting 3KB a second, I was happy.

Downloadlng kinky pictures, you'd better have a kink for hairstyles or eyebrows, because it'll be a while before anything else displays.
