Oh to reminisce about the adventures from the days when it all began. One could power on the PC and go make breakfast all the while a script executes after boot to "dial up" the wan. From the kitchen one listened to the audible feedback of the process as the spinning disk clattered and then the dopamine rush hits as the modem is dialing up, hoping the modem pool was not overloaded. Bbs, Irc, war dialing, AOL hax, NetZero punts and all the great fun is where several nerds found their calling, this nerd included. Some things have changed for the better while some things have changed for the worse yet here we are connecting everything, secure or not.
