Still remember my father’s 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 father’s 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.
