Dial Up. Yeah I know the sound and I know the time it took to load anything with. But it’s something I won’t ever miss having. I would much rather be on a 1MB connection if I had to choose between that or dial up ever again. I also hated how easy it was to be kicked off, if anyone called the phone, you were off it in seconds.

    I originally read this as “what are you nostalgic about” and was confused by all the responses.

    I am certainly not nostalgic about smoking sections in restaurants. Those half ass dividers that did nothing and the whole place smelling like an ash tray was not fun.

      When I was in Germany recently I was shocked that if you sit on a lovely outdoor patio that smoking is allowed. So you either pick indoors and get no views or sit outdoors with the smokers.

        Yeah, jets taking off always ruin the ambiance at Applebee’s.
