I think you have an extra K on there! I do remember my 36 kbps modem though, but the web was optimized for that speed. Webpages had "image warnings"!

    A slow modem (or indeed no modem!) is nothing like a 30s refresh rate.

      A slow modem meant waiting hours though.

        30 seconds the image load hadn’t gotten to her neck yet.

    Ah, 90s kids' nostalgia. How fun was it to start a large download before school and then running home to see if the download completed or was interrupted because your mom used the phone during the day? I remember it would take hours upon hours to download netscape. It was both exhilarating and infurating at the same time.
