Nothing on the internet will ever compare to the joy of using Napster for the first time.

@protolalia what about using Irc for the first time? ( I know, it was not much used in the USA, or in eastern Europe)

@darshan I never used irc. The first time I had internet at home was through AOL. I still feel nostalgic hearing the AOL dial-up noise. : )

@protolalia I remember it too. The sound of a dialing 56k modem.

I believe it sounds a little different in Italy since the phone system was weird https://youtu.be/nEh43_10Ct4

I had internet around 1995, but it was damn expensive and it kept the phone line busy ( and parents didn't like it at all )

@darshan It's the same sound! I was 19 and living on my own in 1995, but my little brother drove our parents crazy being constantly online.
