Using Napster was one of those defining childhood memories for me. I was in junior high when it came out and I remember hearing about it through rumors at school. It was one of my early memories, realizing that computers could be used for interesting things and not just office work.

Those were the days, spending 20 minutes downloading a 3 minute song over dialup.

interesting things and not just office work

I dunno about you, but at a younger age I was definitely into, uh, "interesting things" on the computer. And games, too.
