    WebVan

    by Calimus

    I lived in one of the many areas that Webvan delivered to. It was really nice not to have to go out on a rainy day for a bunch of grocieries. But then again, the old Napster was kinda nice. I've found that Kazaa (www.kazaa.com) is much better for most things.

    by flartybardgast

    I mean, come on, everyone and their pet cat knows
    the various GNUTella networks blow any incarnation
    of Napster away. Still... I've run into a
    remarkable number of people who aren't smart
    enough to figure out how to download mynapster.

    amazing... I would have *never* been able to
    download as much porn from Napster as I manage
    to do with mynapster
