Man, those were the days. Websites were pure HTML and still took 60 seconds to load, if you were lucky. Want to download an update for Quake?? Better not be expecting a call for the next 12hrs. When the Quake 3 demo came out, I was un-callable for about 2 days straight.

The days when your parents encouraged you to go on the internet and talk to complete strangers.

I remember holding a pillow and blankets against my tower whenever I got on late at night so dialing in wouldn't give me away.
Also, who actually noticed a difference when they pressed the turbo button?
