Not really. There may be someone on this list who remembers sharing a 56K modem 10 ways... :) We had that thing up 24/7 with auto-redial. If you're using HTML-based websites (that is, no audio/vidio/multimedia) and use fetchmail to bring your email messages to a local host, you'll never notice that your internet connection is any less than badass.
Smile, and they will thank you and think you are a wizard. Gumble about the modem, and you will have some geezer bending your ear about how he had to carry the paper tape from the lab to the post office. -- Keith
