protolaliaNothing on the internet will ever compare to the joy of using Napster for the first time.
Darshan@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.
DB SchweinI can still hear the little voice saying "I seek you" (ICQ) <3
Signaleleven@protolalia do you think today's kids have their own Napster moment?
@signaleleven
I wonder what it would be. I used to spend hours every week reading music reviews and scouring used CD bins because music was so expensive. I worked at Tower Records for minimum wage bc I figured the store discount was worth it. Then, suddenly, it was all free. It felt pretty amazing.
