I finally saw why people miss dial-up after 3 hours on a slow DSL line
Last night I was trying to grab a Winamp skin from a GeoCities archive and my DSL kept timing out. I got so mad I actually missed that old screeching modem sound because at least you knew it was trying. Went from thinking broadband was the best thing ever to kinda understanding why some folks swear by the old ways. Has anyone else had that moment where the newer thing felt more broken than the old thing?

Man that Winamp skin hunt takes me back. Was it the actual old sites being so slow that got to you, or more the feeling of fighting with tech that's supposed to be better but just ain't?

Kind of feels like we're overthinking a skin browser, don't you think?
