    Not certain I agree with that last scene. Probably should have said,“wow technology is amazing!”

      Every server room had ASCII printouts of naked ladies with same resolution as that comics panel. It was art, same as auto shops and their calendars

    I remember downloading porn in the 90s. It would take me about a week, mainly because I had a 28.8 modem, but also because I had to schedule them to resume in the middle of the night so my parents wouldn’t know I was downloading porn. It would boot up at 2am, download for three hours, and then shutdown at 5am, about an hour before my dad woke up for work.

    I stored it on a Zip disk labeled “homework.”

    I’m reminded of showing my buddy Steve how well the new cable modems worked.

    I loaded up Kazaa or whatever file sharing thing was popular at the time.

    “What’s your favorite metal band?”

    I type it in, results trickle in.

    “Cool!”

    “Nah, hold on.”

    Then I type porn and hit enter - BAM - Full page of search results.

    “HOLY SHIT!”

      dude I may have gone overboard downloading simpsons episodes back in the day before they released the dvds. that step up from the 56k line at home to the university’s T3 was something.

    Didn’t forget the part where a .jpg would load from the top down for three minutes, only for her to have a dick and you have to stop yourself from lighting your computer on fire.
