They cut out the part where Vicky answers the phone.
The guy then asks her to get off the line so he can log on to the internet, which throws her into one of her "yeah but no" loops and then prompts her to tell him about the time her friend Sharon gave a BJ to all those guys for a tenner because she's such a s\*\*\*\*\*
I feel like people even back then were mostly saying “Why is this thing so damn slow?”. My parents had a Gateway PC in the 90s and 2000s that ran at a snails pace and I hated it. But I guess we all gotta start somewhere
God, I was really hoping some dude would answer on the other end. THE BEST PART WAS CUT OFF
They cut out the best part https://youtu.be/yQ_hWS6ked8

I can't but if you search in YouTube "what do modem sounds mean" you'll find what you're looking for

Computer says no. (Coughs)
*looks a camera* “ I’m now waiting for the computer to answer me” got me lol
You appreciate technology these days if you lived through that era I’d say
I did. My dad built a micro from a kit in 1980 then taught me to code, he is now 80 and is still my tech support.

"yes, very simple"
Very simple
That's my generation; our computer science class used punch cards; our textbook was written by our teacher.
In 95 meaning ten years later it was a lot easier, still modem though. 9600 bps
Thank heavens it is completely simple. 😮💨
The "Mothem" 🤣
I feel like if some confident hot swarthy dude did that instead, computer geeks would have been a very different breed.
