The website doesn't look like it's been updated in a dozen or so years, but it's still up. It's a good style marker for how the web used to look. I guess they still make enough in ad sales and Pi t-shirts to stay running.
This was probably very slow back in the day. The irony is that network speed is being used to cram more stuff across the web, rather than speed up existing material. The price of change.
Well I did always find dial up far more bearable when I was drugged out of my head... though I'm kinda upset you don't remember the v92 connect noise... this is HN not reddit ;)

If I kick off a download, it will be done when I wake up. Better check the "hang up after download is finished"

Hopefully some modems firmware can be upgraded to reach 33.6k :)
Haha, I laugh at you! I got a 56k modem.
Yeah, but does yours do v92? If you don't get the two bongs during connect then you're missing out ;)
Do the bongs come with some grass?
