This, children, is how we used to connect to the internet GIF

Oh my, and the annoying dail tone it had. I can hear it looking at this gif.

And for me at least it took a lot longer than this gif lol

Welcome! You've got mail!

I remember watching this happen whenever my mom wanted to use the computer when I was little...

Memories

I never used aol as a kid. We had netscape

remember those AOL discs that were everywhere? we used them as drink coasters in my house lol

I have nightmares about this all the time. Did anyone else ever have to get off the Internet when someone in the house had to make a phone call?

i remember also not being able to go online if we wanted to use the phone.

This is great

Back in my day we used Yahoo.

I was an avid AIM user. Loved making clever away messages lol.

I'm 14 and I used to AOL. I hate the little dial-tone. EFEHQETHETHWHTWA$YHWG is my imitation of the dial.

Except it was NOT that fast.
