Dial-up internet connection dialogs were the loading screens of the ancient times. You'd literally have to input a phone number, hear the modem screech like a dying robot, and pray nobody picked up the landline while you were downloading a 2MB file. The best part? That "Save password for anyone who uses this computer" option was basically the original zero-trust security model... except backwards. Nothing says "cybersecurity" like storing ISP credentials in plaintext for the entire household to accidentally nuke your connection mid-download. If you remember this screen, you also remember the existential dread of someone yelling "I NEED TO USE THE PHONE" while you were 95% done downloading a Winamp skin.
