Don't you mean modem? Cable is what I have now. ;)
Anyway, speaking of the dial-up modem times, a friend of mine once visited his family and he and his cousin started downloading something really big, several hundred megabytes. Because the speeds back then were putting snails to shame, they left the computer on for the night (good for them my friend's cousin's father could afford that). The next morning my friend's cousin's sister comes along and says: "You know, you left the computer running for the night, I turned if off for you." Needless to say, they were mighty pissed off. :D
