Remember back when we were freshmen? And there wasn't good network even in all of W20 yet, and so in places like the APO office there was a VT320 with a modem? The Athena dialup pool still exists. And it's great for a good hit of network, zephyr, and livejournal if you just happen to have a VT320 and a modem and phone service, but (still!) no real network.

mmm, pasta... *drooling noises*

I loved the pasta pads. I used them for a month before I got my computer as a frosh. And then again to dial in from the EC darkroom using an Original Hayes 1200 bps modem. And then again last year when Comcast insisted that the reason my cable modem couldn't get a lock on
to the upstream carrier was because I wasn't running Windows XP. And they performed valiantly. Long live the pasta pads.
