I also remember the good old dial up times. I remember when we had free dial up ISPs (the 0-610 kind which was like a "cheaper" phone rate), I used Starmedia until it just disappeared. Then I used a regular free ISP (Alternativa gratis!) and then switched to another little known, fast free ISP: FreedomNet (sponsored by a national technology TV show which had a somewhat decent hacker). Later I opened a paid 0-610 account with a random credit card number in an ISP that simply forgot to add a verification process for credit cards.
I also remember Napster and Audiogalaxy, EasyWarez...sniff
And probably the best P2P related memory I have was the time that I found some guy in DC++ that had hundreds of weapons' and planes' user manuals...I downloaded my favorite: the SR-71 Blackbird Pilot guide!!
LOL Yes I believe that was the user/pass...oh the memories! You just can't imagine the things I did to have internet! With the help of a friend we even tried to hack his building's phone lines (that is to cut the cables and plug them to a modem) and then we realized we were just f-ing up with the entrance intercom!! XD
Oh and I had an "extension cord" for the phone so I could connect with my PC at my room...that is if by extension cord you understand "a handful of pieces of cable taped together with scotch tape and a soldered phone jack taken from an old modem". Man we were so fucking poor back then...

desodorante, if you still read this forum...
1. check this out: Cuántos años vive una página web?. I was a member at El Sitio and visited them regularly. That place simply disappeared; I would guess they couldn't stay afloat after 2001, but I have zero idea of what actually happened.
2. do we still have any free dial-up providers? I have a USB 56K modem I want to test... Back in the day, even Boca Juniors and Yahoo had their own, and toll-free access (as seen in the following screenshot) was my dream.

I met one of my most memorable ex-GFs while this song was playing in a small bar when I visited South America a few years ago. This song has a special place in my heart now. Good memories.
