Probably should've invested in some anti-virus program ...
I donât know. I canât remember what I had for dinner yesterday but I can remember the mousetrap jingle word for word.
Lifeâs funny that way.
I tried to download a music video on limewire once. I was pretty computer illiterate back then and around 13 years old at the time when a friend at school showed me how to download things.
That music video turned out to be a woman being murdered at point blank range. It was ~5 seconds of my life but that video has never left my mind. It was far too early for video editing and far too âamateurâ to be a movie production. The way she begged for the guy to stop before he pulled the trigger, it was definitely real.
Had a similar experience, but it was a video of a guy who got run over by a truck, or in more accurate termsâŠsmushed into its radiator. There was not a lot left what could be recognized as a body, but he was still alive.
Iâll also never forget that. I believe the Nokia phone camera quality which was usual back then made it even worse.
Still remember my fatherâs face when he realized I was sharing all his personal documents with Limewire.
My internet was so slow that I was tweaking all the settings and doing analysis on bandwidth traffic with nonsense. So I probably tweaked that setting and felt the internet was 10kbps faster.
I also recall placing the modem under a blanket because I thought the internet was faster when the modem was warmer. I also recall my fatherâs face when he saw the modem had melted, and the flabbergasted repair technicians theorizing that our house was probably hit by a thunder and it caught fire somehow. Little did they know.
I was just a desperate kid willing to try anything to be able to download 1 song per day.
