    Oh yeah, I remember when we upgraded from dial up and the speeds were so fast I could download a new song while listening to another. Non-stop music!

        I paid for the internet, the 486, the power, and the apartment. I had to download napster and use it. that took time which could be exchanged for money.

        Oddly enough it was the same federal minimum wage during Napster time as is it is now.

        How was that “free” ? Free certainly had high price requirements.
