i've still got my old yamaha 2 speed burner and some kodak gold blank cd's somewhere in the garage.
back in 96 i was downloading mp3's off irc and newsgroups at the local library, then chucking em on spanned floppies using ARJ, come home with this stack of floppies on my bike, burn custom compilations onto CD's, then flog em at school for $10 a pop. Sold enough to recoup the $600 I had to spend on the burner and not have to work during the hols. Then some other kent bought a 4x burner and started copying my CD's and sellin em for $7.50, so I had to drop to $7.50 and specials like 2 for $12 n shit.
ahh the good old days.
I found an old floppy labelled porn gif's and I was like all nostalgic n shit. Found a floppy drive, hooked it up to my PC, then loaded the image and the pics were like the size of the avatars we use. and in 8bit colour. FFFUUU.
