 I still do, sometimes at least.  The output has gotten faster
 (and I've probably gotten slower).  So it's a lot harder to
 control how many lines I let scroll than it was 20 years ago. 
And not only faster, but less responsive.  It takes a while after
you press ^S for the output to stop.  I don't know if the cause is
network design, the design of UNIX, or both.
