oh man, anyone remember the brief stint mp2s had before mp3s became the norm?
they were hard to find and even harder to find something to play them, but god damn they were better than midis

I still remember my first time on the internet back in '95, and I was so impressed by alamak hackchat!!...

omggggggggggg the first days of internet I was so excited to use www.webcrawler.com

I remember going to a Conference on the Internet in 1995~6 I was quite the kiddo. Internet wasn't common in France yet and very pricey.
So there I was me and my father and we were at this conference to use the free internet access!
Oh man the memories I can still picture it!

( Everyone must have been triple my age there ... and I had somehow managed to get an invite to the conference and not have to pay to attend ... ah my first steps into the fine world of social engineering! )

At first most of the stuff I looked up was BBS archives for phreaking and hacking ...

And I remember discovering mp3.com .... it took me a week or two to realize they didn't have big name artists on there but only wannabes.

And Napster that was da ghettoooooooo
I went to visit a friend who lived a couple hours away. I was so hyper cause he had cable internet ( and I had 14.4 k back home ).
We stayed up all night while I was leeching like a mofo. By morning I had about a gig and a half! But he was so pissed off cause his upload limit for the month had almost been used up during the night ( 500 megs or so ).

My ICQ years too .... 4659756 I still remember my number!

Irc, my first times playing with haxxed versions of photoch0p 5.0 etc.


I remember when AudioGalaxy got shut down. I kept saying it was impossible that they wouldn't shut it down. I even flamed about it on TA ( oh man let's do some old school thread digging! ).

Twas da bomb.

But I wouldn't trade my isp today for any of what I had back then


Or some of these bittorrent websites ( hein Lira you know what I mean )

AudioGalaxy was the shit.

i remember leaving my computer hooked up overnight to whatever ISP i had at the time, and letting all my downloads on Napster/AudioGalaxy/KaZaa go at like 5kb/sec since i was on dial-up.

or how 'bout when NetZero was actually free?

Thankfully my e-p3n0r has grown now!



And I rebooted the thing under 24 hours ago.

Heh, I remember...

- Thinking it was so badass to have my own AOL account
- 60014357 is still my working ICQ number (except I forgot my pass two months ago, and reformatted & lost my auto-login )
- I used Angelfire and, oh, crap, what was it. Eh, another site to host my websites
- I learned HTML when I was 11, and used MSPaint to do 1337 designs and image-mapping
- Napster ftw

Am I 1337 if my ICQ account is under 1 million?
