I remember dial-up internet…I was in my single-digits/early tweens at the time, but I do still remember it. I remember getting on my grampa's computer one time to get on some kind of gaming website…on dial-up. Not a site about console/PC gaming, mind you; one of those little Java/Flash game sites (…well, at least it had Java/Flash games on it; this might have been before those big "online arcade" sites became popular ). This was when Java was still often used as a browser gaming platform, and Flash was still owned by (independent) Macromedia. It took fscking ages to get the first page loaded…I don't even remember if I bothered trying to play any of the games (though knowing how impatient I was back then, I probably didn't ).
