Is it bad I'm feeling old? - SV650.org

Well... I'm 17 (almost 18, egads) and I've realised that I have the capacity to feel old. Two guys came into the shop today, looking for helmets because they were about to do their CBT's and get 50cc scoots.

I made a mention of our website, and the fact that our catalogue is available on online, but if they had dial up forget it - it'd take too long to load.

One of them looked at me blankly and asked "What's dial up?"

I immediately felt about forty years older than I should...

Dial up, i remember when the phones had a dial on the front you had to 'dial up' to call somebody, let alone internet.
Or when the pinnacle of home games systems consisted of a white bar going up and down on the screen batting a square dot back and forth, radical eh

Well I'm only 21, and I easily remember dial-up...I only got the broadband in about 2001 or so.
