56k warning?

I don't get it why do a lot of people put "56k haha" warning in the title do people even have 56k internet these days? I remember when i was in 5th grade and that was the last time I used AOL and now its 2009 I assume most dial up networks are long gone besides a few.

There is a whole section of people on here that may not have the fastest connections, and they may want to browse the Photo/Media Gallery Section once in awhile. It gives them a heads up on large files.
