I’ve been loading this for an hour and I think it just drew another line of data. I’ll keep it on for another 12 hours to see how much I can get.

I’m so excited

Now I have to restart the download again … lol … it was hair pulling fun when this happened to a 50MB update download that took 8 hours to complete, only to get messed up when someone decided to make a phone call at 3am.

I put a piece of paper up to the screen to line up to the last line of the image and I think it just moved

Wrong icon for dial up internet explorer.

You’ll want one of the upper row icons for dial up internet explorer.

You can use dial up with any of those explorers…

While true that you can use dial up internet even on modern browsers, it fell out of use pretty much everywhere by the mid 2000s. DSL and cable became pretty ubiquitous.

I can see it could feel that way in some areas. I’m a Canadian, so we didn’t even start to address the digital divide until 2019.

I thought high speed was ubiquitous in the late 00’s, then I moved to a province when it was very limited.

1/3 of the world still has no fixed internet access, let alone broadband access

This is a confused soul. One of those icons isn’t even Explorer.

They are all internet explorer or variants of it. The internet was what the icon was labeled for the first few versions. The last icon is for edge i believe.

I remember when IE 4 switched to the e icon. I thought it was so much cooler looking with the blue gradients.

I don’t know about you, but I had the Netscape Navigator icon.

So the last icon implies “it flushes you through the web, if you want or not”?
