    I’m old enough to remember dialing into different BBSs with my 14.4 Kbps modem.

    These days my teenaged son is complaining that his 12GB Fortnite update isn’t downloading fast enough and he has to wait a whole 20 minutes.

      I too remember those bygone days of the modem handshake sound. I wish all these kids would get off my lawn.
