Oh yes, I remember dial-up being charged by the minute. Not to mention if you stayed online you couldn't use the telephone! I was definitely printing out fics to read in those days.
I had a RL classmate who was savvy in the ways of the internet, so I knew where to find the juicy stuff a couple of years before I was legally allowed. Mostly stuck to text, though, because if you wanted to look at dirty pictures you'd be waiting all day for them to load and would probably have lost the mood by then...
