Oh that brings back memories, I even have the old phone book of all the different computers that we had to dial into to get info.
At 8 baud, it took quite awhile, and my phone bill suffered for it. undecided

Back then my phone bill was running about 150.00 $ a month. Grin

LOL. I know what you mean, I used to look at my bill every month and try and justify the information I downloaded as being worth it.

Now I have a flat rate, and can download 10,000,0000 times as much info. and still I question if it was worth it. undecided

Same here, even a town 5 miles away was and still is long distance.
I'm sure I pay more than I would have in long distance charges, but I got tired of having to scrutinize my bill every month, especially with my use of dial up calls.
