Dial up was a painful period, sitting in school Monday-Friday thinking about what I'm going to surf in the weekend because that was the only time it was available for the package my parents had in 1998/1999 here in UK. Counting down the hours on Friday evening until it hits 12:00am.
Yeah. I think you got 6 hours a month (or something). One other aspect I didn’t like was when using and my hosemates picked up the phone I’d get disconnected, they’d be annoyed.
interesting, because somewhere around the time that i was able to use dialup i learned to value how i spend my time. i don't know if it had anything to do with limited dialup time. however now limited online time causes more problems because it causes me to prioritize unimportant online activities, whereas when i have unlimited online access, it is easier to prioritize important activities because i can always do the online stuff later.
