Aaaah! It’s the horrible skreek-squooper! Come to skreek-squoop all my organs out! I’m totally not making this up!
Oh, false alarm. Just some squeaky rain boots.
I remember “You’ve got mail!”
The dread cry of 14400 Baud!
When your modem sacrificed itself to the internet……
I miss the sound of my modem negotiating. It was comforting.
Hey, beat going out in the snow to the computing center to enter your project. That Apple IIc was wonderful.
I started using the Internet when I was about 12. That was in the mid-90s and I thought it was the coolest thing ever even though it was so primitive then. I remember dial-up very well.
Even now when I dial some business’ number I get the modem one and hear the familiar noise!
That sound is burned into my memory. Along with AOL’s “Welcome. You’ve got mail!” Of course it still beat a dial tone and a busy signal.
