dial-up experiences (was Re: question aaout ISP's)

[Andrew Burton]

Yeah, I know of Whiz Kids. Only seen part of the first episode as I haven't had time to watch the others yet.
About 9 episodes have been uploaded onto YouTube.com with each episode split into several parts.
War Games is a great film, and I actually caught the last 30 minutes of The Computer Wore Tennis Shoes the other week. The bit with Kurt Russell doing his part in the quiz at the end is hilarious :)

As for dial-up, I'm still using it with my 56K (?) laptop modem :)  The European Dreamcast I used on dial-up before that had a 33K (?) one, whilst the US and Japanese machines had 56K ones, grrr. I did use my Gamecube on dial-up too, but I have no idea what speeds it used.

right when WarGames came out, along with Whiz Kids, if anyone knows that 
show.  You'll never guess what I did during my teenage(and later) years? :)
