Wowsers - that must’ve been fun…

…people never forget when and where they first discovered Napster

Quite - Bittorrent just lacks romance somehow ; )

In 1999, I was one of a team working in our own little room at * Uni. In the corner we had a ‘testing’ machine that stayed dormant most of the time. It was also connected to the University’s rather fast T1 connection, and, after discovering the joys of Napster, we filled its 7 gig drive with lots of fantastic music in no time.

Unfortunately, 6 months later, the machine had to be taken away for repairs and a clean re-install, and with no means of backing-up our cache, we had to say goodbye to our jukebox in the corner. Those were the days though.

  • shall remain nameless in case I get them into trouble.
