Going to Gateway computers in the Pavillions. 500mhz PC all of my own in my room. My step dad installed two ISDN lines in the house one for me and one for him. The joy of downloading Manic Street Preachers at a full 128kbps in 99/2000 was space age stuff.
I used to go to the central library and borrow CDs, rip them and sell them at school the next week.
