It's amazing Limewire didn't destroy the entire western PC market.

Documents that are actually malicious .exes.

Hollywood movies that are actually scat/CP/gore.

Game installers that are actually viruses.

Popular bands .mp3 songs that are actually Wesley Willis.

... on second thought. the last one was OK.

    I discovered file sharing in the early days of Napster. When that went away a lot of people flocked to Limewire, but after trying it for a night or two I said "no way, José" and never opened that crap application again, polluted with spam and fishy files.

    Right around this time, Audiogalaxy started growing, and that's the first time I came across a game-changing feature: you could resume a download even after you had been accidentally booted from the dial-up connection! This was astounding to me at the time, like magic to my primitive mind.
