I started with a 1200, quickly updated to 2400 bps modem. 56k was an absurd fantasy at the time. I didn't download anything much though (obviously).

So you remember the internet at this speed Moss? Up all night and you’d see three women.

The pain was that you had no idea what the image really contained until it was downloading. Sure, thumbnails existed, but they were like 20x20. So you didn't know if you were getting someone naked, or someone wearing a beige body suit or some other nonsense.

About halfway through you could usually make a judgement call on whether you wanted to finish the download or try a different picture.

It was a gigantic time sink.

Sears Catalogs? What sort of sick shit is this?

National Geographics is what you were supposed to jerk off to. All those naked ladies in tropical countries...

And it was okay, because it was educational!
