I was almost GONE! - Toyota Yaris Forums

Typer73 · 08-02-2007, 11:09 PM

Recently went to work for local phone co. so I'm getting a new broadband connection (6mbps). Tried tonight to connect & lost EVERYTHING. Had to restore to a "happier time" and reset the router... so I managed to reconnect to the old 1.5mbps but for a while there I was literally shaking. Imagine, the weekend without the net? I'd have to get a life!

A friend of mine was big on the old BBS's before the Internet. He said it could take an entire day to download a single picture, and you had no idea what it was going to look like... all text based, so no thumbnails. Hard to imagine!
