Who remembers 5 minutes per song!? 😂

Downloading a song on a 56K modem hit different.

“Sorry Derek were you on the internet‽ i just tried to call for pizza”

We were fancy and bought a second phone line so that use the Internet AND talk on the phone at the same time.

Uppity AF amiright

High fa-lootin!

it was beautiful

Used to have to go do stuff for a half hour before the song was almost downloaded!

Yep! If you downloaded a whole album, it took all night long 😂

Convinced the 1998 sounds were to prime us all to make the transition to the information super highway … 🛣️ right 😹💜🙏

I remember staring at a napster progress bar, so pumped about having this working, and doing math in my head. 'Ok 1.2kbps, song is roughly 2.5mb....ah shit.....NO BODY USE THE PHONE FOR A WHILE!'
