Memories, memories. Back in the day all I could get was dialup Internet 
service. My neighbor however had one of them new-fangled satellite 
connections (quite shitty by today's standards). He rigged up a cantenna 
so that I could "borrow" his WiFi. I was allowed to use it in the middle 
of the night. Otherwise I'd override his allocated bandwidth.

I do now wish to relive that time in Internet history.
