Strange habits leftover

Whenever I start up an SSH connection or am waiting for a web site to load, sometimes I hit the return key a few times. It’s an old habit leftover from the olden days of modems. You hear the connection tones but don’t see any text coming across the screen. Hit return a few times to wake up the connection and the server.

No idea why *that* stuck with me. It sure doesn’t work for web browsers. Pavlovian response I guess.
