[02:45]  * guiverc still having trouble with telegram.. on this box it never finds contents/rooms.. always 'loading' though it claims I'm logged in..  I've tried other boxes & didn't get far; will post when/if I can login to telegram 
[02:46] <Bashing-om> :( these things happen more and more on a regular basis - welcome to the new internet :!
[02:50] <guiverc> still faster than my fidonet days... dial up to my local bbs to send email or make requests etc, and know it'd forward to an internet connected node every 6 hours...   nor the need to pick up the accoustic coupler every ~15 mins to shake it so the crystals still worked & it wasn't just random garbage I was seeing...
[02:51]  * guiverc didn't have funds for decent connection for some time.. ^
[02:58] <Bashing-om> guiverc: Horrible thought - dial up - buffering for any video content :P
[02:59] <guiverc> I can't recall every watching any video with dial up (thankfully?!!)
