Lessons of Modemity
- Allow at least two minutes for each page to load
- Repeatedly hitting the "enter" key may not expedite matters, but it sure beats repeatedly hitting your fist into the wall
- Increased modem use can lead to the coining of phrases such as, "They can put a man on the moon, but they can't get the ice off my roof!" or,
- "This would never have happened in Texas."
- There are indeed things slower than molasses
- Studies are incomplete as to modem use and its causal effect in the development of stomach ulcers, but preliminary results are quite promising

But don't you just get nostalgic when you hear the sound it makes?
I'm sorry, Mommy! That's so frustrating.
I don't get to hear anything since my sound is turned off most of the time. Or, it might be because the phone I take the cord has a non-working ringer. OR, it might be due to interference from space aliens....the answer's in there somewhere, I think.
I do miss the hook-up noise, as it was a useful tool in annoying people. It would have been fun in the middle of the night, too.
Nice blog. Wish there were more like it.
