I suppose it's fair to say there are different types of nostalgia: there's a variant where you yearn for old days you truly believe were better somehow, and another where you simply have fond memories of a period that's now past.

But I do have fond memories of that dial-up sound, and the amazement of being on line from a personal computer.
