Back before music piracy was a thing; because who’s going to download a 3-4MB file on a 14k4 modem? By the time you grab one song you’d have racked up such an internet bill you might as well have bought the single.
The days of overclocking your CPU so that your pr0n would load faster TT__TT and we used emojis like that. Those were dark days, but people learned a lot about CPU cooling.
I remember spending all day downloading files from a Quake server because I happened upon a server running Team Fortress and had to download the mod. On a 28.8k dial-up modem. It was like 500MB or something.
Then of course when I get into the game, it’s on ctf_crosstheborder and was the most confusing thing I had ever encountered.

Like how a room cooling fan with the legs removed and leaned on the case with the side panel removed can really help… A LOT!
