      Ah, you’re only like 5 years younger than me. I work in a college library and the young adults keep making me feel my millenial age, so maybe I over-explained.

      Were you on dial-up, too? That dialtone just announced to everyone you were getting online, no way to hide.

        Im old enough that we had computer labs in my elementary school but i didnt really grow up with dial up, no. My early online experience was youtube, club penguin, and reallyfunarcade. But i think thats why my grandmas computer was so loud. It sounds like a Transformer with diarrhea? She got rid of it when i was like 8.
