who remembers the Dial-up sound?
Never mind that, I remember the sound when you used to load computer games off cassettes (and computers had 32KB of RAM)

Oh, Dialup... For so many years, it was my lullaby. I also remember video games that were on whatever was before the floppy disc - the big floppy discs. Incidentally, it's a game that has literally been lost to time; I can't even find information on Wikipedia about it.
You had it easy. My first job used 8-inch disks. My first computer used cassettes, then 5 1/4" disks.

I've seen a few videos where they show little kids various items from the past - like typewriters, dial telephones, etc. The kids are trying to figure these things out, and they're not quite sure how they work.
Another thing that baffles some of the youngsters today is one scene from Fast Times At Ridgemont High where some kids are being handed some papers which were freshly printed from a "ditto" machine. They all pick up the papers and take a good whiff of the chemicals used in the process, which is something kids would do back in those days. Now, with printers and copiers being used, I don't think schools have those old machines anymore.

I remember it well. Kids today don't know what slow internet is. And that horrible screeching sound when connecting.
Don't forget this great item.
What archeological dig did you find that?

I remember once my step father was downloading this film called 'Pitch Black' on dial-up, so we all had no internet for like days. Then when it finally downloaded it was just two hours of a pitch black screen
Gotta say Rival. Your new avatar is perfect for this thread.
