Dial Up. Yeah I know the sound and I know the time it took to load anything with. But it’s something I won’t ever miss having. I would much rather be on a 1MB connection if I had to choose between that or dial up ever again. I also hated how easy it was to be kicked off, if anyone called the phone, you were off it in seconds.
They were very expensive to run and had to be constantly changed. As a kid we always had a drawer of replacement bulbs ready. I don’t bother any more they last so long.
Led bulbs give off very pleasant light these days if you get the right colour temperature.
