Haha oh man, I haven't thought about DirectConnect in YEARS.

My first year at college, Windows network browsing was still enabled, so you could just browse to someone's computer if they had file sharing enabled. There was one guy who was notorious for having like 50gb of porn freely shared. If you said the name of his computer on campus, chances are someone around would be like "oh heck yeah!"

I had dialup up at home, so yeah, that was different.

Come to think of it, I made a copy of that whole archive...I wonder if I still have it on an old HDD somewhere.
