Anything before Windows XP should probably just stop existing right now. I’m serious. You. Yeah, you over there with the CB radio and the Philly’s hat. What are ya runnin’ there, 98? How about you just stop, sound good? At the very least don’t call your ISP and expect a quick and easy phone call.
I gotta say, I don’t know how we did it back then. I don’t know how we were able to have any sort of technological breakthrough that required any access to the internet in the least.
Oh, right… that’s how.
Did you know that, unless I’m mistaken, in Windows 2000, it’s almost easier to set up slow-as-mole-as-is dial up than it is to set up a basic broadband connection?
What’s even better is that we (the ISP I work for) actually don’t have correct documentation to help the few customers left who are still torturing themselves and us with their hopeless cries for help.
That was my last call I took this evening. Left me with a buzzing in my head. So I think a little music is in order, even though I just posted some. Here’s some more.

I figure that if the operating system vendor doesn’t support their own product then we shouldn’t either!

Yeah, I’m at work now, and JUST got done talking to THE SAME GUY!! His dial-up connection wasn’t behaving, so I deleted it, and taught him how to log in and out of the internet.
