[FullMetalJacket]

As the title says, its time to get flamed!

Why do people write 56k or not 56k freindly or 56k this or 56k that in thier titles?

Just curios.

I have 6 channels now I miss rotary telephones actually...there was something soothing to the tack tack tack noise as it dialed. but hell if you messed up the number

As for phonebooths, I had my works only remaining public phone booth removed because the only people using them were the drug dealers and the prosties.

Oh Dialup, I used to play the game Outlaws on the MSN gaming zone all the time on it and would get so angry when someone used the phone. And I'm a '91 kid
