The good old days of getting music from IRC or MP3 download websites found with Altavista.com
Just to play them back with WinPlay3 on a computer that used 100% CPU just to play back a file and dropped audio frames anyway.
Well... Yes. But I never used limewire because our Internet was so shit it'd take 25 minutes just to load in a Web page entirely made of just text.
I remember doing that...
last year (besides limewire, I needed some CDs to copy to minidiscs)
Tech culture is around 10 years late here in India. So I can say I have worked with above tools. But CD Roms are now thing of past. Pen Drives, HDD and SDD are now tool of the game now.
Lil' bitch, I'm a 16KB expansion cartridge in my Vic-20 years old.
I don't come here to be assaulted Pug 😤

Careful giving out clues to your age on public forums...
But yeah I'm roughly cdr old.
Heh. Y'all remember Lincoln Logs in front of the family radio set? 🦗
1996 called: 2X Plextor SCSI-2 wide internal CDR with Caddy, 5 pack Ricoh 2X CDR and an Adaptec single port pci SCSI-2 card bundle for $599. What a deal to store all my porn!
My first computer ran on 5 1/4" floppy disks.
I remember my old car stereo that would run mp3 files off of a CD, shit was so tight! Didn't need to transcribe the music as audio tracks so you could fit so much more Linkin Park tracks on a CD than ever before, god those were the days
I am older even…
