    Am i the only person who is driven insane by the insinuation that WiFi is synonomous with 'having the internet'?

    No. It's the Chromebook/iPad generation. I feel like they don't truly understand the Internet or computers. Having used Windows 98 and onward, my friends and I had to really learn to troubleshoot and learn the innards of the system. Nowadays, everyone is in a protective shell like Chrome OS, iOS or Android. It's all dumbed down now. Simplicity isn't always good imo

    Edit: Windows was a gateway drug into Linux

      I mean, I feel like that one has some cascading effects that really fucked things up for pretty much everyone on the planet, so if you ever find yourself hurled back in time, you might consider it.

            I didn't go online when I first woke up. I often though would check see how my downloads did overnight. In 95 I was still using the local collage dial in.

            At least, we had a leased line of 38400 bits per second for the whole department. 😉

                  For a time around 1998-2000 I ran the internet connection for a multi county agency on one 56k dial up and squid proxy server. It worked and it worked pretty well. We did however love it when the local cable company finally rolled out two way cable internet.

                    Apologies, I misread the tone of your comment. I thought you were jokingly saying dial up was fancy while you had to deal with AOL. I didn't read it as two different statements as I should have.
