Ditto.

If the Internet goes down, i just go downstairs, pull out an old jigsaw puzzle, and obsess over that until I have thedamn thing completed.

I’m still using a modem dial-up connection >_< [/b]

56K… I feel like a prehistoric fossil.

Technically there is no 56k as FCC speed requlations sets the limit at 53k. Even then to reach that speed you need to have brand new phone lines or be near the phone company or a repeater, etc…

Most dial up speeds actually average about 36-42k regardless of the display =)

On that note - I had dial up till about 6 months ago lol.

Whoa, whoa, whoa! AOL CDs are strong enough to be used as a frisbee without exploding after the first throw? I didn’t know that …

Well, they don’t fly nearly as well as a regular frisbee. But they are normal CDs, and they won’t automatically break when they land, unless you throw them very hard at a hard surface. It’s more of a gimmick thing than anything else.

EDIT: And it probably would not be a good idea to play catch with them, because they are more like a thin-edged projectile when thrown than the gentle throw toy that a frisbee is.

Or go on a rampage with the one Nightblade gave you.

That, or use the Matrix.

… Uh … Isn’t that dangerous?

I can tell you a trick to that, but first I must aporogize.

For what?

For this! [attacks Yar]
