I remember the times when I was raging against slow loading because we were paying for the internet by the minute.

Now, this does not keep me from still raging against internet or websites taking a second too long. I got spoiled by progress.

I still remember my love/hate relationship with NetZero as a child. Wouldn't have been able to surf as much without their free service. In the early days I was able to connect to the internet, then kill the process that was serving up that annoying ad banner along the bottom. I felt like a genius putting it to the man!
