     Sort of. I was far from a child, but I can remember downloading the latest version of Netscape over a dial up connection.

     I would set it going, then go for a long walk to have dinner at a Chinese takeout.

     What I do remember as a kid would be sending away for packages and looking at the mailbox everyday for a month after school until the package finally came.

     Some really good memes passing my timeline from your end. I would boost them if they had image alt-texts for #a11y reasons, and I'm sure more other people would too. They are easily added by clicking 'Edit' after uploading the image. Keep those memes coming 🤗
