When the Internet Speeds are incredible !
But at that times it was fast.

The modem sound is forever imprinted in my brain.
But that wouldn't be the legit experience for my rosetinted nostalgia gogglesFun fact: There's actually a command you could use to silence that horrific (yet nostalgic to some) screech of a dial-up modem.
It would still make the initial dialing sound, but it would be silent after that.
It's existed since Windows 95, I believe. There's a "volume" slider in the "properties" tab somewhere in your modem settings in Control Panel. it was in 98, and XP, as well. Not so sure about Vista and newer.But that wouldn't be the legit experience for my rosetinted nostalgia goggles
Nowadays, no, of course! 5 K/s (more or less what I was getting) would suck big time. But back then around 1999, it was the norm. Everything was smaller back then. I remember my hard disk was a whopping 6 GB. Could be filled up in a few minutes at today's internet speed.Why would you want to have sub par internet speeds nowadays?

Napster? That brings memories. I think Yahoo was also the recommended search site, before Google took over. I wonder if we'll see the death of popular sites like Facebook in the future. Probably, if history repeats itself.Took ages to pull from Napster etc
