I wish....

I wish my laundry machine e-mailed me when it was done....

I remember in '92, my sophomore year of college, I got FREE dialup service from the college (I lived off campus), and I thought that was the most awesome thing in the world.

Now your maytag could someday be a spam zombie....

Heh, I got free dial-up Internet connections in 1995. However, there were only three numbers/POPs for a small university!!

When I was in college, we had it great: we had data switches in our dorm that allowed you to use SLIP to connect your computer to the college backbone.

Same way at my school back in the day. 19.2k connection on-campus when dial up modems were running at 9600...but then I had to put up with my roommate who hardly ever showered.:(
