My Winamp playlist was the greatest achievement of my life. It went all downhill from there.

They paid $207 million for a well known and easily recognized brand name, not the product.

LimeWire "videos" that took hours/days to download, finally finishing, leaving me with huge anticipation, and it's a grainy video of nasty people.

Those were the days.

I wanted to watch a John Wayne movie with my son. Spent two days downloading one. It was dubbed over in the most affeminate French voice you ever heard. I thought to myself... Jesus is this what French people think he sounds like.
