      shoutcasts…

      Shoutcast was probably the coolest thing I ever ran on my little P75 I have to admit. I thought it was damn amazing. Can we talk about iomega zip drives and the click of death now too!!? (Kinda enjoying the nostalgia…)

        I lived on Zip disk for the first half of college. Ended up doing too much video and would rent FireWire HDs from Best Buy for a month at a time. Just broke art school things.

          Ahh Firewire. Much as I dislike apple, that was a fantastic name. Who wouldn’t want to connect their devices with “firewire”, especially at a time when everything in the world of consumer PCs was (even at the time) the source of slowdowns and impatience for anything requiring fast data transfer.
