I hate dial-up
WOW, I tend to forget how slow dial-up internet access tends to be. I am overly spoiled with my 6mbps/768kbps Comcast connection. Stopped over my mom’s house for the evening and got on to check my email. The pain! The horrible, horrible pain! Took longer to sign on to the internet than it would usually take for me to load a browser and check my webmail.
Just for kicks I did a speedtest (Gotta love BroadbandReports). YEAH! 36kbps/24kbps dial-up internet connection. Proof alone right there that those 5x faster claims that all those internet companies make are total bunk! I need to get home before I die of old age waiting for /. to load.
