      Yes that was bad. And it was always so loud for some reason. But I’d argue better than waiting in silence.

        I’d agree. I kind of developed a Pavlovian response of excitement to the noise. Back then though, the Internet was nothing like it is now though. There was a time when we didn’t even have websites, we had stuff like Internet Relay Chat (still around actually), Usenet, and subscription services like America Online. There was Gopher, but it really wasn’t the same as the web.
