But I remember downloading songs off Napster at 3.5 kb/second back in the day.

LOL I remember that too... I think, that's why it why it was called "Napster". Cause, you start some downloads, go take a "Nap"... then, come back and see how many (if any) completed successfully!

Good point about the nap. I would have like ten or fifteen going at the same time.
There really was a thrill to see the bars finally completed.
I’m glad I got to experience the internet in its infancy.
I also fear I may live to see its demise.
The question is whether the government decides the freedom it gives us is outweighed by the governments increased ability to use it to spy on us.
We shall see.
