Yahoo! Games (still have/know my username from 12+ years ago), GeoCities (as well as those Yahoo! DIY pages. Forget the name.), discovery of emulators/ROMS (I'd spend literally days trying to download a 3mb ROM lol).

More to come.

I remember being in my room online chatting or doing whatever and someone picking up the phone downstairs and being disconnected, then I'd be yelling from the top of the stairs "dhiga telephonka, computerkaan isticmaalayaaye"...those were the days of dial-up and free AOL cd's

I remember when you could hear your hard drive from outside the house. Those were the days.

the dial up days. most frustrating thing ever especially if you have a mother and sisters that love talking on the phone.
