Welcome to the club. Watch out for the connection loss Gnomes, they come in the middle of the night and kick you offline at the most crucial momment, and BLAM!, your download is terminated. No more Internet for you. They are like Soup Nazis, only without the soup or the Nazi....and they are Gnomes....I guess that's not really anything like a Soup Nazi, but it sounded good at the time.
I have yet to catch one. I try though, to get a specimen to study in captivity to learn their secrets...I will get them yet, I will get them yet.

I should mention that my dial-up connection I had been on was America Online. It has not only disconnected me numerous times, but also even gave me a TOS violation for some stupid reason, making it very hard to get back on. A connection loss gnome is like a lot like a pidgeon. It can crap on you and be really annoying. Whatever monster AOL has (probably something all draconic-like) is more like a hornbill, which can kill a man with a single blow. I'll brave the pidgeons any day...

I guess this means you've started college then, huh?
Yeah, once you get the sweet sweet taste of high speed - you never go back.

AOL is like having a leech attached to you.
Back in the day when I had'em, I couldn't connect to their service for some odd reason. After sending them a letter and calling them on the phone to unsubscribe me, I thought I was pretty safe to say that I wasn't going to receive any more mail from them saying that I owed them monthly dues.
Well... low and behold, six months later, they send me a letter billing me for 6 months of back internet service. The computer can't even get onto AOL's internet service, I phoned them, I sent them a letter of termination... What in the name of fried clams do they want?! A retina scan saying that I don't wanna pay to service I can't get?
Ugh... anywho... I need to get back into work. I hate being in the hospital and all tha.t

We had one of those at my high school. I almost miss it. They were so thoughtful. We could have spent money on something that would actually be educational, but thought it would be more important for Oversoul to be able to access Everything2 from any room in the school...
Seriously, the school was built in like 1997 and so we had nearly as many computers as people...
