Being happy that our company bought Germany's biggest provider so I was now connected with the incredibly fast speed of... 2 megabit/s.
One of my oldest memories about internet is my mother yelling at me it's time to turn out the internet connection cause she wants to use the phone
Plugging into the land line to dial up on the family computer …
You know the noise

I can probably still remember my ICQ number
Going to a lan house, downloading a bunch of useless shit freeware programs and games to have something to do at home without internet connection.
Despite being on the internet for decades, I never went to a lan party or brought my whole pc to someone's place.
But I do remember freeware and shareware! :)
Funny thing, I forgot that the proper translation to lan house is cyber café, so yeah, I didn’t bring my PC over some friend’s place either because they had dial up just like me 🤣
I also remember the cyber cafés would run at a very discounted rate If you had the guts to stay over midnight until dawn, the so called “Corujão” (loosely translated to big owl 🦉)
