What about demos. I remember when downloading and playing demos was what kids did. If anyone convinced their mum to pay $20 for a CD key every kid wanted it from you. My mum bought me a game once and it came with a CD of demos, I lent it to so many kids and then it got stolen, lmao

I learned on a Power Macintosh all in one. Then I owned a original G3. I remember taking that for a 64mb ram upgrade

After that I had a more powerful G3. Then I switched to PC a few years later.

Anyone remember piracy back in the day? I remember there were programs for people to host servers. Some were public access others you had to pay money to get an access code. Depending on your member level (how much you paid) would determine your bandwidth allowed. And people trying to run out of their moms basement internet would get bandwidth capped by their ISP and members would get mad as fuk.
