Haha dang dude. You were ball'n to afford a x4 CD burner back then.
I made my money back in 6 weeks.
I figured you were getting paid to make mix CDs from CD albums you had. As P2P Napster didn't come out till 1999 and Limewire, 2000.
CD burning was definitely something I wish I had done back in middle school. Ha
How was your CD burning hustle? How much did you charge for a CD? I'm interested to know more.
LOL, back before p2p there were direct download web pages in the prehistory of the web. I was pirating music in 1996 (maybe earlier?)
deeznuts had a basic search page and hyperlinks to a direct download of most popular music, and on a 56kbps modem it would only take about 45 minutes per song.
My brother had just started a computer collage course that required everyone to buy a 100$ cd.
We provided them for 20.
I burned ps1 games for 10$ a pop.
Music cd's were 20 just for the hassle of me getting all the songs. I think I was using... Ing it's been so long.
Text based. BBS feel. Chat rooms. Omg I'm. Embarrassed I can't remember.
Irc! Holy shit I wonder if that's still around?
IRC is around. Not that many users since it doesn't handle mobile use well. Matrix (Discord, Signal etc) is even starting to replace the last user groups though.
Cd bruner in the early 90s.
I paid 600$ cash for a 4 speed cd burner.
I made my money back in 6 weeks.
Everything after that was pure profit.
