Thanks. That’s kinda what I thought but my technology skills are about as shakey as my hearing, but the good folks here saw me through it.
Right you are. That’s a fun recollection of early technology. I remember Compuserve. At the time I thought it was science fiction come true.
And dial-up topping out at .056 Mbps. I seem to recall the first modems were .0003 Mbps and you placed the landline phone handle on them. And they were pricey. How far we’ve come.
Back in those days of primarily text and some optimized images you could get by. But now so many web sites are bogged down and bloated with so much extraneous wasteful crap (ads are a necessary evil but their images and video are excessive high resolution) that to use dial-up now would seem to never open pages. The server would time out saying…um. are you there?
