Almost forgot about dial-up. Remember using a 300 baud modem. That is back in the prehistoric era of computers. Even worse trying to get a modem to work in Windows 3.1. I feel old, time to book space in the old folks home.

Always good to have a back-up, whether it be dial-up or you neighbors wifi that he decided not to pass-protect. :D
