Winamp makes me super nostalgic.

Winamp for android is pretty sweet. It still lives on.
I remember using my Pentium 2 pc to encode 32k mono mp3s out to my 486. A floppy could hold an entire song! Winamp didn't even lag on that sweet Packard Bell.

I remember the first time I was introduced to the internet. I didn't know what it was. I was at a guy's house with a friend, I didn't know this guy. He was big, really heavy and had a wobbly head (like those wobbly head toys that you stick in the back of your car window).
He had a small box looking Mac computer in his garage, he was fiddling with it on its tiny black and white screen, then he turned to me with his head wobbling about and said smugly with a high pitched, oinky tone "Do you have a modem"?
Had no idea what the hell he was talking about.

First modem was a 2600 baud modem (not 26k). So much fun (not) trying to figure out modem initialization strings from a tiny booklet (and they never listed all of them). No phones or laptops to find codes online, was simply a hit or miss proposition, where you might try many different combinations.
Even the smallest pic took forever to download; watch line after line appear slowly.
At the time I thought AOL was the shit. So much content before you even tried to go to other webpages. And then there was the sounds when you connected on dialup (which I want as my phone ring tone).

I started out with Microsoft Comic Chat in 1997, then switched to PIRCH for the text popups! Back then meeting people on the internet was nerdly.
