Don't try me because I looked at the Playtex girdles and feared nothing.
and usually finished the job before the download was complete. "- ow I can see the neck that enough for me"
God damn 56kbps dial up modem
The pain was that you had no idea what the image really contained until it was downloading. Sure, thumbnails existed, but they were like 20x20. So you didn't know if you were getting someone naked, or someone wearing a beige body suit or some other nonsense.
About halfway through you could usually make a judgement call on whether you wanted to finish the download or try a different picture.
It was a gigantic time sink.
I started with a 1200, quickly updated to 2400 bps modem. 56k was an absurd fantasy at the time. I didn't download anything much though (obviously).
