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.
Ahh, the beloved VCR! Also while recording, pressing pause to leave out the tv commercials, forgetting to unpause, the station interrupting news breaks, a low-flying airplane messing up the tv reception, someone changing the channel while you went to go to the bathroom. And my all-time favorite… dad placing his big brand new stereo speakers right next to the little videotape shelf!
