Of course back then, when you got online, the phone line went busy so no one could call in. I got on an IM service and a friend of mine did as well. When he would type, it would take about 5 minutes or so for it to come through to me. Vice versa to him. Shit took about 30 minutes to say "hey, what's up?" "nothing much. how about you?" Then we had to get offline, lolol. Later, QD.
