That reminds me of the days where it took a whole day to load a one minute video on youtube and if was any longer you could just forget about it because it'd usually fuck up partway through.

You can watch a video that isn't fully loaded.  Those gems of wisdom from the prior millennium.

My problem was that the dial-up was so bad that it wouldn't even try to load the video if it was over a certain length.
