The early days of downloading were a fun time
Hi-res pic loading about as fast as you could print them back then XD
I still remember a specific site. Messedup.net had some good pics back in the day lol. But it took 5 minutes to load the good photos
That lady looks familiar
Looks a bit like Heather Harmon.
Isn’t that actually the name of a different woman in the videos that ended up getting mixed up when shared
Nah a lot of people thought her name was Heather Brooke because Heather and a girl named Brooke were in a video and some early internet user named the bootleg video Heather Brooke. Many people, including this reporter, were under the mistaken impression that that was her name. Her actual name is Heather Harmon.
Thank you. I knew there was something like that but couldn’t remember the exact names of each person. Also what the hell? Why is this what I care about remembering.
I don’t know. I can’t remember what I had for dinner yesterday but I can remember the mousetrap jingle word for word.
Life’s funny that way.

Not sure what it says about me that I immediately knew who she was/is
Does anyone remember how much midi ringtones used to cost?
Naw, but I do remember $.10 per text message, and my parents about killed me when they saw a $400 phone bill when I was 14
I wish I was that cool back then 😂
lol the girl I thought I was “in love with” wanted to text all day long and that was a bad choice for a 14 year old
Sounds like you listened to her needs and cared about her feelings 🥹
About tree fiddy
I used to download a lot of stuff from a nice Spanish man named War̃ez.
I lost all my mined Bitcoin in 2013 because my niece downloaded “free_robux.exe”
At least you got a free robux out of the deal
So, where did you bury her?
Still remember my father’s face when he realized I was sharing all his personal documents with Limewire.
My internet was so slow that I was tweaking all the settings and doing pattern analysis on bandwidth traffic with nonsense tweaks. So I probably tweaked that setting and felt the internet was 10kbps faster.
I also recall placing the modem under a blanket because I thought the internet was faster when the modem was warmer. My father’s face when he saw the modem had melted… and the flabbergasted repair technicians theorizing that our house was probably hit by a thunder and it caught fire somehow. Little did they know.
I was just a desperate kid willing to try anything to be able to download 1 song per day.
I tried to download a music video on limewire once. I was pretty computer illiterate back then and around 13 years old at the time when a friend at school showed me how to download things.
That music video turned out to be a woman being murdered at point blank range. It was ~5 seconds of my life but that video has never left my mind. It was far too early for video editing and far too ‘amateur’ to be a movie production. The way she begged for the guy to stop before he pulled the trigger, it was definitely real.
