Internet will go out?!?
America Online. Perhaps related to some sort of white-hat system ready for the election?
America Online was a internet service provider that connected via a phone line about 35 years ago. The noise in Dan's video is what you heard as it was connecting to the internet.
A sad sound those of us from the dial-up days will never forget.
You're incorrect. The sound at the end is it establishing a 56K (technically 52K) connection. If it was going to fail the connection then you would hear repeating tones as the modem tries to negotiate a lower baud rate with the remote modem before giving up.
That's what u picked up on. I heard that alot back on the day.
For a few years now I have said that many people will totally lose it when their smart phones go dead. TOTALLY lose it.
Talk about "suicide weekend". People are going to lose it.
Crap I feel old now
The number 14400 Will always have a special place in my heart
I was using it until 29 years ago and my town got an internet provider. I was user number 39 on that system.
I know that noise well. LOL
I am aware of this. I use to use AOL since I could get free trial CDs at the bus stops.
Ugh, I remember those. It was bad. You couldn't walk down the street without tripping over AOL trial floppies and/or CDs. They were everywhere. In cereal boxes, newspapers, your mailbox, etc.
Now for the fun. I was permabanned from AOL. Anyone remember the AOL Warez like AOHell Etc? What a blast from the past. Use to have so much fun punting, ghosting in the chat rooms, and being Steve Case Tos Advisor.
I still have some of the 3.5" floppies that they originally mailed out for free. I also still have an old computer with a drive. It also has one of those old CD drives with a volume control and headphone jack on the front. I can easily go back in time with computers, even all the way back to my Timex-Sinclair that had the same processor as the TRS-80s from Radio Shack.
Thnx for making me feel oฤบd
Lol, you and I both.
I still own all my 8", 5", and 3.5" floppies, as well as ZIP disks, CDs, Blu-rays, and old hard drives. The oldest hard drive I have that still works is from 1998. I have notebooks of printouts of web pages that no longer exist. Crap tons of data plus a whole library. I even have an engineering book that shows how to repair the old mechanical/electrical phone switching equipment. I wonder if any of that old hardware still exists.
Wow, maybe you should open a computer museum. I remember taking a class where you wire up metal panels sticking wires with jackplugs into holes in the panel. running keypunch cards through a sorter. I believe it had something to do with programming the first computers. Memory gets dim over time.
You're old enough to remember Kevin Mitnick as well as the fun that could be had with phone phreaking. Great fun back then, still have my blue box somewhere. I tossed most of my old computer crap few years back, still have some though, like my old 386 gateway that I paid way too much.
Oh thatโs better!
Republic coming online to take the place of the Corporation or America is waking up.
