    What's dial up? Lol.......I remember those AOL days, and the joyful sounds of a early 90s modem.

    I don't use it, but I know that there's a lot of area that still use it where I live.

    Last time I used it was only months ago. The last time I was only dial up was perhaps a couple years ago.

    I think it's a good warning to use for folks on phones too. But yep, I used PeoplePC dial up and still have the service in case my high speed goes out.

    Although, as it stands, my internet is behaving so badly that I might as well be using dial up.
