And that you don't have to remember to log off, as I frequently forgot to at night and only realised when I was at work the next day that I was still online and being charged by the hour!! Or that you don't have to call down and say "does anyone want to use the phone? I'm going on the internet to do something, but whatever it is, it is expressly not related to looking up porn!" And then get cut off when some ****er forgets you're on the modem!!!

Ah Gateway! The cow computer!

My current computer doesn't but the one prior to that, about ten years old, does. I still have boxes of them. Remember Norton Backup? "Backup your whole PC onto thirty handy floppy discs!"
