I remember using Napster while on Netscape. Used to download songs overnight because they each took six hours.

Hilarious how much everything's advanced in 15 years...

That reminds me of my old music downloading software (Kazaa IIRC), it used to take close to 30 mins to download a song, and god forbid you tried to download a music video.

While were on the subject of random memories pertaining to the internet, did anyone else have dial up growing up? I can honestly I do not miss it, it was the worst...

I'm 35 and had one friend in high school that had the internet. The only place I ever heard the scream of dial up. You also couldn't pick up the phone if you were on the internet or it would go dead.

HAHA, I know exactly what you mean I have 3 siblings, and back then it was uncommon to have more than one computer in your house-hold.

I started with a 1200 baud modem.

It was awful, the connection was slow, and would routinely die. Trying to load a site alone took 2 minutes on a good day, on a bad day it wasn't even useable.
 
I like how we morphed this thread into an oldschool technology thread. I think I actually prefer it to what's been going on all day. Kudos Scion. Kudos. Hahaha.

My parents didn't get their first computer for about 10 years after I moved away. I didn't have my own computer until I was in my mid 20's and even then only really used it for invoicing for my business. I'm happy that I never had to deal with dial up.
 
My first ISP was AOL. I remember having a call-waiting program with it that would pop up on screen if someone was calling so I could decide to take it or not. Sadly when I was playing Everquest (pre-WoW MMO. Basically WoW before WoW) the call waiting program would crash the game. :laugh:

I don't miss dial-up, but I almost kind of miss the modem connection noise.

Loshe is horribly overrated this off season and would get destroyed in the AL east.

Sign Sanchez? (I know he's signed, but would it make more sense to spend a bunch of dough on a guy like Anibal and save the assets?)

I had an external 2400 k baud modem on an old IBM 286 with a burned in image on the monitor and used to play word based RPGs (LORD was awesome) on BBS systems. Ahh the good ole days. FYI I'm 32 lol.. :yo:

I remember the BBSs well. We had multiple computers, but the one I used for BBS couldn't run Trumpet. The one that ran the internet was a 2400 baud (5 mins plus to open a single page).
 
I have no idea how I am going to sleep. Probably lots of alcohol.

Stupid leaks coming out of the Mets front office.
