A slow internet connection exhibits these symptoms: Text on Web pages display as Morse Code and... Graphics arrive via FedEx. You post a message to your favorite Newsgroup and it displays a week later. Your credit card expires while ordering on-line. Playboy web site exhibits "Playmate of the year"... for 1989. You're still in the middle of downloading that popular new game, "Pong". Everyone you talk to on the 'net phone' sounds like Forrest Gump. You receive e-mails with stamps on them. You click the "Send" button, a little door opens on the side of your monitor and a pigeon flies out.
