      The only time I was in trouble growing up was when, in a bout of youthful enthusiasm for downloading the Warcraft 2 demo, I used dialup.

      I do not remember the exact number of hours I used dialup for that purpose, but the monthly bill was $400.

          $400 was not a "We're impoverished forever" amount of money but it was a "Alright, what plans do we now have to cut" amount at the time.

          My parents were, naturally, very displeased, but dad urged mom to not show her depth of displeasure as vocally as she was thinking to.

          Also, 1st lesson in “on the internet no one knows you’re a dog”. The prof rang the house to say the new images were in. I was 15 😱

          For me the dialup charges were from logging into a BBS (in Arizona I think) for hints to Space Quest III

          Wasn't even a puzzle that I missed! There was a janky gap that you had to walk Roger through that I couldn't find for the life of me
