@neverbeaten @linuxgal I distinctly recall a time in the mid 90s when my family's home computer had an IRQ conflict between the modem and the mouse, such that the moment you connected to dialup, the mouse stopped working. I didn't mind, because I was using telnet and lynx.

But apparently after I went away to college my parents tried AOL, and they got charged for a few months because they couldn't click on the button to cancel their account.
