Internet Radio - where do i come from?

When i was a kid, the only music source i can get is the FM radio or from a tv. Other than that should be school bands playing school songs or stuffs. That was 1995, when internet is still a mystery. Not everyone have a PC back then, only rich people have 1 and it's running on DOS with big giant flappy floppy disks. you need to wait 20mins to let it load space invader which was displayed on a black and white monitor. LOL....
I was listening to oldies from a radio cassette player owned by my parents. That was the hip thing at that time. Every music store are selling cassettes, no cds yet. Cd players are expensive that time.


 Then when internet came along with affordable pc for the midrange families, my parents bought 1. The time started with 65k MP3s that you can download with a 55k internet speed. 2MB will need about 4-6 hours of downlload time. Think about it...hahaha. Now we are downloading at 200kb/s. Pretty hardcore ya?
When napster,kazza,morpheus and etc.. program came to life. It was 24hours download for me. I download single mp3 files to bittorent files of discography. Burn them to Cdroms then to DVD then to external harddisk.
Now, I listen to internet radio on my Media player. I wan to listen to The Blues? click on the channel and i have blues, Jazz? Metal? whatever man..
Sometimes i think internet is the one. do you think so?

Oh ya, the winners from the DIY guitar from trash!!
