World of Tech

Prior to the internet becoming mainstream, I was on a BBS which you had to dial into. I even got to meet the owners of the BBS it was a great little community.
 
I remember we paid a hundred bucks or so to have a chip installed in our PS1 so it would play regular CDs. Dad then installed 2 cd writers into the PC so we could borrow games from the video store and copy them. We went from having 2 games to almost 20 in the space of a few months
 
I think it was 1997 and my mate at school told us his brother ordered 20+ cds from the sony website because there was a glitch with their credit card payment system where you could enter the card details as 0000 0000 0000 0000.. so i tried it and ended up with 5 cds (silverchair, frenzal rhomb, Garbage.. cant remember the rest)... was too scared to try any more than that in fear I might get hit with a bill (more scared of my parents)
