You'll never look at dial-up the same way again.
Mostly, you'll look at it like, "HURRY UP, YOU SLOW PIECE OF SHIT!!!!"
When I moved out of my parents' house, I left my broadband connection behind. I suggested they hook up to it, but my mother refused - why pay the extra bill? She just didn't see the point in it; she insisted she didn't use the internet enough for it to make any sort of difference.
They recently moved (to my chagrin, but hey - what can you do?), and when they did, they got a broadband connection. Now she laughs at the fact that she didn't use the one I left behind, in the old house.
