AOHELLAs a fresh-faced youngster I remember getting dial-up in the house. After what seemed (looking back now) like a lifetime of listening to a noise akin to R2-D2's orgasm, we were 'connected to the internet' and a rather sultry voice welcomed me to AOL and announced that I had email.
I was of course oblivious to the wealth of problems in billing and connection that my dad suffered. My worst experience at the time was the brief moment when I thought internet bills were like phone bills and listed a history of all the sites that had been visited! They weren't. I was happy.
