November of 1997 ... I downloaded SNES roms like there was no tomorrow.

I soon moved onto MP3s. I'd go though http sites and download one song at a time ... one zip at a time. If a link was broken, guess what ... you had to wait till someone fixes it.

I remember being on AOL in 1996 and some chick (at least I hope it was a chick) engaging me in my first experience with cybersex. :chuckles:

Back when i first got on the internet i remember having cyber sex in a chat room with some chick thinking it was cool and getting a kick out of it....Then shortly after we got Prodigy Internet at home. Id download music off of napster...then id hook it up to a receiver and make MP3 tapes to listen to on my walkman...Then i would play starcraft until my mom yelled at me and told me to get off the computer.
