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.

    I have a cabled electric mower. I have to whip the cord all over like Indiana Jones when I change directions. I’d take gas over it in a heartbeat

      I have a cabled lawn mower also. I’m not going back to gas. Whipping the cable around is a small price over breaking my bank trying to pull the cord repeatedly until it starts, breathing in the fumes, needing to check the oil, and needing to buy gas to fill it up with.

      Plus, there are battery powered mowers now. You plug them in to charge and then mow your lawn cord-free.
