I don’t know why, but when people tried to call while we were on the internet, they’d just get a busy signal. We were sharing cars and my mom would get pissed because she’d call us to pick her up from work and couldn’t get through.

Because you didn’t buy the optional call waiting. It was the click notification of an incoming call that caused it to drop. It was also a feature that could be disabled by adding the right mojo to the modem command string.

You want to talk about regrets. In the early days of the internet there was this book website called Amazon that the Motley Fool was all over. I read some of their articles, a book seller?
Yeah, regrets.
Yeah, regrets.

Makes sense because my parents were incredibly cheap. They eventually got a dedicated line for it though. So maybe not?

In college, roommates would knock each other offline by picking up the phone to dial.

I used an Internet of sorts in the mid 80s in a job I had communicating with other facilities across the country.
