    HST?

    My first online experience was with AOL 2.5 and a 1300bps external modem.

    I'm going to call a friend for her birthday at 12:00am.

    I hope to be awake by then.

    Yeah, but that was all there was at the time. There was no cable, no DSL... nothing. If you wanted email, you had to have AOL.

    At the time, 14.4 modems were called "high speed" modems

    seriously.

    This was like 1994 or so...

    I'm 19 Sprung, I DID saw the old internet. Well, not old as you, but I remember speeds below 56k.

    What I mean is...when AOL wanted to enter the Mexican Market they did it with horrible discs that fucked up your computer, and basically locked you from using a different ISP. (Of course, to the normal-user, the kind that sends their computers to repair when "It just doesn't turn on anymore. " ) But heck, it was annoying as hell.

    They have dissapeared over here ever since.

    Hmm...I know it had like 256k on the card. I think it was a Hercules.

    I doubt directx was even thought about.

    We should live together. I wouldn't try to have sex with you or anything. Plus, I am a fun guy. I like to have fun. Fun is me.
