TIL, dialup internet is still available.
Time to switch to this:

I'm surprised a bunch of trolls havent started a campaign to get people to sign up for this, so AOL sees a huge uptake in numbers and then announces they won't cancel their dial up service, then the trolls cancel their subscriptions.
Sheeeit, if you weren't running out and buying the next "fastest" modem every month or so, you were scrambling for the next fasted cpu, video card or a faster cdrom drive.
Then omg, a dvd drive.
Fun times when you could prowl stores like CDW warehouse or Tiger Direct looking for little doo-hickey connectors or a Lite On cdrom drive for $20.
