Oh, my God. 2400 baud modem, frequent disconnects, and half an hour to download a 15 second music clip.
It's the equivalent of our parents walking a mile barefooted in the snow, uphill, to go to school. Right?
Oh boy. I remember listening to that noise and five minutes after it started when you heard that high-pitched tone that became very musical you knew you were going to be connected. Then a few minutes later you probably lost that connection.

SAGE laid the foundation for the entire Internet Age. if you trace them all back you'll find the earliest patents for things like modems, memories and interactive displays trace back to SAGE..
lol Yes. I remember getting booted offline everytime some chucklehead made a call. They especially loved doing that when I was at 98% of an hours long download.
dude use Ymodem to download as it supports resuming downloads :-) oh you mean from the net.... there were plenty of "download clients" back then to do the same thing hehehehje

And the arguments between my teenagers if one wanted to use the phone. Or, heaven forbid, pick up the phone at the wrong time.
