Will they still be your friend, afterward?
I never used dial up, but I deal with old tech a lot. It's a hobby. I think they'd be horrified if I challenged them to watch YouTube on my Pentium 4 PC (Yes, you can. No, you shouldn't. Don't try it at home. Try it at a friend's house).
Oh, I'm sure they would be. Unless using a insecure PC brings malware onto their network. Not really likely since you'd only be contacting youtube, not shady websites.
No howling noise, it is cable board band.
Oh. Those. It's actually a internet phone that is over the cable instead of traditional phone wires.
Yupyup, me no needer, too!
I was living in Colorado at the time (mid-to-late 80's). Back when Elway was a newish quarterback and the coach Dan Reeves was challenging Tom Landry to become the new "America's coach". The Broncos were in the playoffs and the offense made a couple of season-ending mistakes. During a post-game interview one of the players (to my recollection either Sammy Winder or Butch or Vance Johnson or maybe Gerald Wilhite but their bench was deep with talent and I could be mistaken) answered the idiotic question of "what went wrong out there?" with "Hey, sh!* happens. I mean stuff happens. I better watch what I say or it'll be on a bumper sticker tomorrow." That's about how long it took, too. No lie.
I only learn it the other way around, so I have been having a landline phone for no reason, I have not use it. I wonder what else that I think it is, but it isn't?
Yeah. As a person, I've always admired Jimmy Carter. As a President, I'll just say I've always respected the office.
That sounds like such a blast!
Wasn't it Gerald Ford who was always stumbling and falling? Way I remember at least. Clumsy, I guess is the best way to describe him.
