AOL has now shut down dial-up service as of September 30.

Let us play the forgotten music...

@hackaday I haven't heard that sound in...20 years? And yet with every beat, I knew what the next sound would be. It's like hearing a piece of music missing since your childhood. 😆🤣

@hackaday I explained to my 13yo how we had to *tell* computers to connect to the Internet.

13yo: that's like the Dark Ages

me: and when we told them to connect, this is what we heard *every* time...
*plays the dial-up sound clip*

13yo *looking worried, then increasingly horrified* it sounds like it's breaking...exploding! Mama, turn it off, you're scaring the cats!

😆🤣

@courtcan @hackaday computers screamed in pain, they knew what was to become of the internet
