I feel like this UI might need some getting used to.
It does have a similar style to everything else in the Mansion though.

isnt this just a much slower form of chatting on IRC?

Avatar, your signature reminds me of what Clarkson said, when talking to Ellen MacArthur: "If it werent for people like you, we'd still be sitting in trees throwing feces at each others."

Not exactly the same message but close enough :D

You can download a program that limits your internet, set it to 56kbps and try to do anything. Downloading one mp3 takes like 20 minutes lol

You had to be way more specific about what you downloaded back then :D You didn't want to waste half an hour on downloading the wrong song or version.

I remember downloading Deep Purple - Speed King, there was two versions, normal and piano version. I thought the piano version sounded lame and wanted to download the normal one but my dad was saying "no no, the piano version!" so I downloaded that one and turns out, it was the right choice! The piano version kicks ass :-D
