It's been 20 years since I organized community events for the first generation of "internet-natives". There was no Facebook yet and it was normal to talk under a nickname with unknown people.

It was a unique time, pseudonymity is no longer popular today.

Haha, only 3 CD unfortunately (Sony RX99). But we no longer used audio CDs. That's why there's the computer - it allowed us to play MP3s with Winamp. That was highend that time :))

In 2003 it was not such a problem to get 128kbit :) Napster was closed, but we have DC++ or eMule... and BitTorrent is starting to shine with PirateBay. Tor has also started to appear. A fascinating time indeed.

Yeah, as long as you could find 128 kbps MP3s.. 😂
