Remember the awful noise your modem made when it was connecting?

I remember that noise, kinda like a monkey and chicken free for all at an old blackboard with oyster shells.
My first experience of the internet was here at the Uni, using a text based interface. It was truly horrible and was never going to catch on.
Remember how hard it was to look at porn?! The pictures would load from top and bottom so it took forever to get to the goodies.
And a 5 second grainy video was a special treat.
Jay, that was back when magazines were more efficient...
Reggie, I wonder if there is a ring tone for the phone that sounds like the modem connecting...
I remember when I thought dial up was so amazing!
