Yes, those were fun times! Millennials will call us Jurassic, lol.Mailis wrote: ↑10 Feb 2018, 04:13 Oh the dial-up tune is forever ingrained on my brain. You just had to sit there for 15 minutes twiddling your thumbs and praying to internet gods that connection was finally established. It usually was slower that dead snail and you downloaded one picture again for 15 minutes or more and well if you wanted to print one out, it was guaranteed cruel entertainment for at least an hour.

Now, much of my work requires the use of a computer, but I make it a point to get away from the screen for a bit every day.

Later we upgrade, had Windows 3.0 and AOL Online after awhile... now look at where we are... can't even really say we are going "off-line"...

We didn't get the internet until I was in high school. I do remember that a friend of mine had dial-up internet when I was 10. I'm just glad that things have advanced so much.

When I first learned to type, however, we had to bring a pair of boxers to typing class. Boxers, yes, as in underwear. We put the boxes on top of the keyboards and put our hands through the legs. This is how we learned how to type. It was fun!
