The day my 56k modem finally downloaded a full MP3 from Napster in under an hour
I sat there listening to the screech and static for 45 minutes straight, and when 'All Star' by Smash Mouth actually finished, I felt like I'd hacked the Pentagon.

My 28.8k modem never managed that feat.

Yeah, those old modems were a special kind of pain.

Man, I felt like a tech wizard when my 56k finally pulled that off. My big win was "Blue" by Eiffel 65. The download bar crept along so slow I could make and eat a whole sandwich. Then my mom picked up the phone to call my aunt and killed it. Had to start the whole noisy mess over from scratch.
