This is the most awesome thing ever! What a throwback! Who would have known that 5 years later Napster would begin the end of the modern music industry through file sharing.

Prol when they stopped showing music videos - or when music companies stopped making enough money on artists to make music videos for MTV to show. What a crap cycle that all turned into. Oh well! Times do change. :)
