Dallas, Texas but living in Houston, Texas
I remember when we first got the internet in 1998. I still remember getting upset at my mom when I would sneak to go on the internet and she make calls to Nigeria to talk to family and it would kick me off.

Leaving the internet on all night to download music.

Taking several minutes to download pictures.

I remember in 2002 when we got DSL with Southwestern Bell/SBC I was in heaven until I started unknowingly downloading viruses with kazaa, limewire, etc. :francis:

remember vividly having to live of those AOL 90 day trial disks.

Sneaking on the net when I was "grounded" and trying to cover up that dial up sound

The agony of leaving the download on over night, only to find out it stopped or someone picked up the phone.

Trying to rub on out to 10-15 sec clips and steady having to pause to let the video buffer.
Bruh.. I had a mini trial disk graveyard..I had so many LMAO :snoop:. Yall bringing back some good times tho idc what anyone says

Keeping my overhead low, and my understand high
:mjgrin: so many memories

Some of yall probably never really had to deal with that.

The noise would snitch on you if you tried to sneak online late night cause it was loud as hell. Kids these days don't know how nice they have it. Internet porn was laughable back then cause the modems were so damn slow all you could really get was pictures unless you left it downloading overnight. Online piracy was MIRC and downloading stuff in 60 something parts off a chat room bot server.

My parents were cheap as hell. We had the 28.8K modem when everybody else was rocking 56K. Kids today would lose their damn minds at those speeds online.
