Heh.. When we got to the story on the newscast I was directing last night, my audio guy just said "Damn... Damn, Damn."

250MB are you kidding me? My first computer had a HUGE 100mb hard drive!! I remember laughing at my friend who only had a 20 MB drive in his machine... oh and his was 2 generations old, too... it was a PC XT... Mine was a brand spankin' new 386SX!

this list is depressing me... I think I've, so far, qualified for 90% of the "you might be"s.

cross posting my comment from Pownce:

Adam C. replied just now!

@Joe:
Totally agree with you. Music now has become stale and craptapulous. (Oh god, I'm using words like a meteorologist friend of mine.) It's not just perception, music *was* better back then. Partially, too, because it all wasn't compressed as hell back then. I've gotten into fights with the girlfriend because I'm quote "out of the loop on new [mainstream] music" because I almost refuse to listen to anything other than "Lucy" on XM (that's the classic alternative channel.)

@Joel:
These days most of the music that I find is worth listening to does not come from a band attached to a major record label. It comes from mainly local and regional rock bands.

The good side, though, with any Joe or Jane having the ability to publish their own music is that it allows for these local bands (and yes, there are some horribly pathetic ones out there) to publish music that otherwise would not get heard.

I think the thing that hurt mainstream music the most, btw, is the fact that the labels moved from developing artists over the long term to focusing on how much money they can make off them *now* and who cares where they are later. Well that and too many people were trying to be rappers... Example: Gwen should of stuck with No Doubt and Ska music... She was so much better back then.

I call your installing the installing the sound card & modem and raise you:

If you ever had to deal with IRQ and DMA addresses while your ISA sound card or modem in Windows 3.11, you might be...

If you remember when a floppy was, well floppy, you might be...

If you know what mscdex.exe and himem.sys are, you might be...

Jagged Little Pill is still one of my favorite albums. I've also been know to listen to the whole thing very loudly. In fact, it's one of the few albums where the *whole* album is in my iPod playlist.

I had that for a while. Unfortunately, the guy who had the server didn't have enough of us to justify keeping it when they raised the price of the server. Dreamhost is the next best thing I guess.

I've heard that MT is a good host. I'm currently using Dreamhost. It's good, but I think I could find better... Oh, if I could only afford my own server.
