I still remember waiting several minutes for web pages to load.
When I was a kid trying to play flash games on dial-up internet, I found they took almost exactly the same amount of time to load as it took for me to make and eat a sandwich. I ate a lot of sandwiches.
I feel like it still does sometimes, with some sites that feel like they are nearly a whole OS in themselves.
