What Can You Do
with a 38.6K modem connection? From the looks of my machine at the moment, you can simultaneously consume podcasts, retrieve your RSS feeds via RSSBandit and post to Blogger. Of course, I can't do any of it very fast, but I can still do it. If I had a cable modem or DSL, I could be listening to streaming music and bittorrenting at the same time as well. But I have a difficult enough time keeping up with 38.6K of data, so I'm pretty sure it would just be lost on me.

Hello Scooter,
I came across your blog because I was curious about the phrase "consume podcasts". Of what I could find from quick check, this post includes one of three examples in 2005. The Google hits go up to 260 by 2016. I noticed that you refer to "consuming" podcasts while "listening" to streaming music. Why the difference?
Thanks for any insights!

That seems to be an actual question and not spam. I consumed podcasts because I accessed them via a standalone RSS reader alongside other textual data at the time (RSS feeds). Streaming music wasn't so prevalent then and I listened to music and podcasts on different platforms/apps.
