High Speed Internet (reminiscing)

[Likwid]

Man I just want to take a moment out to give props to high speed internet. I remember when we got internet in my house about Jr. or Sr. year in highschool (later than most) as well as being introduced to this magical p2p network called napster. I used to pirate the fuck out of cd's while downloading 2.0 to 2.5 kb/s at a time for 10 bucks a pop. Anyhow I was just downloading a copy of dreamweaver for my young cousin and I was hitting about 2 mb/s for the most part. Over a decade ago I would have never imagined I'd be downloading the fucking internet this fast. Cool ass story breh but most of you 90's babies can't relate.

Viva La Broadband!

yup napster was the shit when i got dsl internet. i was a sophmore in HS then... 2001? the homies was still on dial up and took 20 minutes for a song.

The AOL chat rooms for music, porn and warez was the shit. Had to get the list then put the number of what you wanted sent to your inbox.

I remember back in the day using Napster on 56k, putting a ton of songs on my list then going to sleep. I'd hope the phone line wouldn't drop the call by the morning, and I'd have a new cd to bump.

not bad

this thread is H.A.D. approved

i forgot about the old AOL chatroom bots

man nostalgia is good sometimes

56k was ridiculous


it felt great to wake up the next morning and have 6 of my favorite songs though


i just hated when i accidentally got the songs with DJ tags or some weak ass shit.
