There was no better internet than going to college in the late '90s. You go from a 56Kbps modem with hundreds of milliseconds of latency being a GOOD setup, to being directly on a 10Mbps LAN with everybody else in your class. It was right before Napster started and people were sharing entire discographies of MP3s via network file share from their own machines.
Installing Quake in the file share every morning 'cos it would get wiped at night.
Grades weren't that good that year.Hell yeah. I had OG Xbox live at my postgrad residence. At one point, my flatmate and I were ranked 6 in the world for doubles Top Spin. What a time.
Had the same experience. You could share tlyour collection, but it had to be password protected. But you also put a text note named password.txr in the parent directory and you in. If you shared without protection, you'd get your network privileges suspended.
