The bandwidth thief! Some girl at Harvard had this posted on her computer during the early days of the internet, back in aught and 98 or so, it ate up about 3/4’s of the bandwidth of the Harvard U. servers.

Yah, they (computers) were pretty basic back then. I remember back in the sixties, I went to work for FedGov in BIA, and had to be fingerprinted. The only federal place to have it done was the Coast Guard, and they had the entire second floor, most of if to house their HUGE computer. The floor was up on risers to clear all the cables snaking around, and it was about 45 degrees in the room. My little putt-putt pc has more power that that thing had.
