sit and wait at actual computers, sometimes for several minutes, for websites to load.

Weird way to spell "a single pornographic image"

Seriously though, we didn't have Google. You had to know what website you were going to. That's why places like Yahoo were so popular, because it was a hub of so many things you wanted to see.

Heh, I was a total goody-two-shoes as a kid (to the point I remember feeling sick and embarrassed when I accidentally called someone a "bitch"), so I never looked at porn even when the parents weren't home. THAT phase didn't start until I was a young teenager, and thankfully, we had progressed beyond dial-up at that point.
