I remember downloading mp3s from usenet in 1999 on my Windows 95 computer. I'd start the download, go to work, then retrieve the file when I got home.

I felt so fancy buying a CD burner at Best Buy so I could burn them onto CDs. It was the first PC component I ever installed by myself.

We share pretty similar experiences with this. Only that in 1999 both our ISDN lines were in use during the day. That robbed me of the possibility of continuously downloading files, getting home and start enjoying the downloads.

I remember being bummed by this back in the day.
