So you remember the internet at this speed Moss? Up all night and you’d see three women.

The pain was that you had no idea what the image really contained until it was downloading. Sure, thumbnails existed, but they were like 20x20. So you didn't know if you were getting someone naked, or someone wearing a beige body suit or some other nonsense.

About halfway through you could usually make a judgement call on whether you wanted to finish the download or try a different picture.

It was a gigantic time sink.
