In the building I work in, there is one other company on my floor. I am obliged to walk by the entrance to their office space whenever I want to go to or from the elevators. Bizarrely, I’ve recently started hearing the distinctive sound of someone dialing up with a modem about once or twice a day when I walk by. But this building is inhabited almost exclusively by IT and new media companies. So who’s the dweeb with the 56k?

Yeah, yeah, I know you’re going to email me and say they’re probably having problems with their broadband and are using a backup dialup account. Nobody likes a spoilsport, you know.
