Comment the WAIT.... (Score 1) 423
I cannot exactly remember THE first mp3 i downloaded, i do know it was in January 1998 in my dorm room at University of Ottawa, on my then brand new P133 laptop. It was either Eric Clapton - If I Could Change the World, or some other halfway hit at that time. Napster wasn't out yet (by a few months, i beleive) so i was stuck to finding websites that offerend links to ftp mp3 repositories.
But what i do romanitcize about those days is the fact that all my mp3 downloading went through my 33.6K modem, taking at least 15 minutes for a 4 minute 128kpbs song. But that didnt stop me from collecting a 100 songs in a month! This was done by staying up too late and skipping a lecture now and then :)
the wait made it worth it for me....back then we actually had to put in effort to find the song, and time to download it! Don't we all miss that?? :)
