Going on to supercars.net and downloading huge photos of all the latest supercars from various motor shows to print off at great expense based on how much colour ink cost back in the day.
My friend and I downloading images of wrestlers in the style of South Park.
So much Napster. I remember keeping a pen and paper on me at all times so whenever I heard or remembered a song I liked I’d write it down to download later. Remember abbreviating everything in a code so only I would understand it, then my bastard brother found it when we were on holiday in Greece and demanded I tell him what it meant.
A low point was ringing a friend (landline, obvs) to tell him I’d discovered skins for Netscape Navigator and how cool (and dysfunctional) you could make your browsing experience look. He wasn’t that impressed.
I was weirdly into icon design and customising any user interface in any way. Used to spend hours just playing with the settings on literally everything just to see what it could do. There was a website called foood.net which had some nice icons. Had completely forgotten about this until now.
What was that snowboarding game with the infinite randomly-generated landscape? That was cool.
Downloading custom rollercoasters from the RCT forums was good too.
