I still remember when...
- Patricia Ford was the preeminent internet chick

- I was using WebCrawler as my primary search engine

- Napster would take 30 minutes to download a song

- Netscape Navigator was the best web browser

- Juno wasn't a film about a prego teenager

- Filenames could only be 7 characters long

- Playing games like Dark Forces and Mechwarrior into the wee hours of the night

NBA highlights via quicktime and realplayer.. some of the lowest resolution stuff ever and it took hours to download. The youtube before YOUTUBE

http://replay.waybackmach...ry/jordan63_moments.html
About 1 mb for 10 seconds of 200x100 pixeled content.. Throw in slow internet speeds, some barely reaching 3kb/S.. That's taking you about 5 minutes to download.. And we complain about so much today
