Am I the only one cracking up when he was saying how there's not a lot of put downs and that just because you're anonymous people won't start posting rude things. rofl... it's amazing how far the internet has grown.

What the OP failed to mention was that that video clip is actually from a few days ago being that Canada is so far behind in technology.

I remember back in the days of dial-up internet where my brother had an account from the University we'd rack up $60 in phone charges a month, plus our parents got furious as they always call home and can't get through, lol.

I remember that I was the first in my neighborhood to have windows, everyone else was still on DOS.

And I had a CompuSERV account. The first month... hahaha... I had BT, and between the connection charge and the internet and all the surcharges, my first month internet was almost 500GPB. and my hubby at the time wanted to kill me.
