When you have dial up you quickly realize you need a download manager that can resume downloads

Maybe I was just unaware, but download managers only came a little down the pike. For a while it was just "Big file? Good luck!". And there was something exciting about it.

Back in the 80s I ran my own homebrew BBS for a couple years. A second phone line then was only $9 more a month, so I got one for the computer so phone use wouldn't be an issue. My roomies and I thought we were livin' the life.
