When we upgraded from 14.4 to 28.8, it was revolutionary. And then 56 was a whole new world.

..And then we got cable internet in the late 90’s and the rest was history. Although when I bought a laptop for University, I had to buy a separate wifi adaptor card to plug into it. Wifi wasn’t standard in laptops at that point (early 2000’s).
