I'm very fond of DC Talk's So Long My Friend.
To answer your question, it was probably music that sent me sailing the high seas. The only way to get music back then was to tape songs off the radio, download them online or buy a bootleg CD off the street.
Otherwise you'd have a spend a tonne at the few music shops we have/had.
I haven't seen that name in ages. I think Kazaa Lite, Imesh and Audio Galaxy were the first file sharing programs I ever used.
