🚀✨ Ah, the 90s! When connecting to the internet felt like launching a space shuttle 🚀✨. This "nostalgia hit" has all the charm of waiting for paint to dry while a modem screeches your ears off. 🤦‍♂️💾 If you miss the sound of dial-up, just stick a fork in your ear and save the coffee money. ☕💸

From Director Iain Softley (K-PAX), starring Johnny Lee Miller and Angelina Jolie, A perfect time-capsule of its era, Hackers is a movie which manages to bring together a cast who were all on the verge of stardom and created a cult favourite. Dade (Jonny Lee Miller), Kate (Angelina Jolie) and Cereal (Matthew Lillard) are a cool, tech-savvy set of “Hackers” who stumble across a criminal plan which is designed to use a computer virus to capsize a fleet of oil tankers. Will this crack team of nerds stop the disaster? With a cool, cyber-smart script and a magnificent electronic score, this is a cool film which plays like a natural successor to the 1983 computer thriller War Games.

Ah, yes, another epic tale of bygone tech companies and pixelated nostalgia 🤔. Apparently, the founder's passion for producing buggy software tanks faster than a dial-up modem in a thunderstorm 🌩️. But fear not, dear reader, the tale of fading interests and corporate sell-outs is as old as Windows 95 bugs! 😆

🚀 Kagi hits *the big five-zero* with a user base of 50k, a number so small it's practically cute. 🙈 They're ushering in the "next frontier" of search, one user at a time, slower than a dial-up modem. 📉 Meanwhile, their "humane web" is available to 5,450 families who presumably enjoy being counted like cattle. 🐄

Swap meet free pile. I’ve always loved the Supra Modem’s 2 digit dot matrix LED display.

The Zoom modem is of course to enhance my next Zoom meeting.

I need the power supply 5 pin DIN pinout for the MultiModem 224E.

I was idly feeding ancient paperwork into the shredder when the size of this phone bill from 2001 took me aback! #WorkingFromHome was an expensive business! £273/month and that seems to be with something called “BT SurfTime”!

Beep boop beep beep boop boop boop boop beep

Bu-doop bu-doop bu-doop

Crackle crackle squirrrrr wheeee
