I felt old when I watched this!

A Saw trap everyone who was online in the 90s can relate to.

Ironically, my broadband connection had to stop and buffer a few times while watching this.

You do know that YouTube did not exist in the 90s, right?

You don't need to be in the 90's to be able to use dialup. I'm sure if you get an old modem and the right connection you can hook up a dialup even today.

i don't think you could watch a youtube vid via modem. typically they are 5MB/minute, and modems were more like 1MB/5min

I missed the old modem sound so much once that I created a batch file that would play an mp3 of a dial up every time I opened Firefox.

On my crappy telephone landlines, I could only go 3 KB/sec. for compressed datas (24000-31200).

So being old could now apply to any kid as early as in their low twenties?

pfft, old, my first was an acoustic coupled 300 Baud modem like the one in the movie War Games. Ally Sheedy optional.

I didn't even try to start playing this video until it had completely loaded, would have had to buffer about 30 times if I had tried. And I'm on broadband. And yeah, though we didn't have youtube in those days I remember how horrible Real was. And speaking of crappy streaming video systems, does anyone remember vivo? =)

And noticed that the kitty video is from a Finnish user. Didn't expect that.
