    Kids will not understand the pain of downloading a 3mb file for 25minutes straight and then realize is a virus/porn/gore/etc instead of what you want.

      Or how about the nearly hour long process to burn a $1 blank CD and have it fail as a penniless teenager

        Or those 100 CDs for cheap of which you could literally peel off the data(or whatever you peeled off :-)

        Got a whole bunch from my SOs father, after like 7 tries I told him, he’s answer yes “I never got them working”.

        Got like 10 2GB SD cards he gave me too, but I was prepared and they all were like non functional.

        A gigabyte was a whole lot of data back in the day.

      it was worse when you wanted a movie. You’d wait a week, only to find out it was german scat porn.
