Great just an additional comment on the dial-up internet man one thing I was shocked that AOL still offered dial-up internet I wish you know to understand which I still had a few of those CDs left around, but you know fiber We've come a long way great from dial-up internet I remember dialing up into BBS's long before the internet was even a thing with I believe at 1200 I think was the first modem I ever had it was an external parallel port connected US robotics 1200 baht modem right and It had flip switches on the back remember dip switches So anyway, we went from that to dial-up internet I think my first dial-up internet modem was like a 28 days BTS modem and I my last dial-up modem was a V92 Supported US robotics modem, but we didn't adopt the v92 standard here. I think we only went as far as v90 Which allowed for 48 kilobit per second even though it was a 56 K modem it allowed for 48 kilobits per second Connection speed and I was very surprised to find out AOL still offered dial-up internet service to this date You can still get it today as you said it's going to be going away very soon But if you're a customer you can still get it and there are apparently a couple of hundred thousand people that still use dial-up internet and In addition to AOL there's still two companies that currently offer dial-up internet service I can't remember the name of the second, but the first one is Microsoft believe it or not Still offers a dial-up internet service for approximately $30 American between 20 and 30 dollars American per month. I Was shocked couldn't believe it. It was even still a thing back to you gray veal when ukz and good morning bill
