I remember when digital audio first became available and downloading a supercut (which we didn't have a word for then) of Homer Simpson saying "d'oh". We probably had to wait at least half an hour, and then we didn't have a program on the computer that could play audio files (or at least not one we could find) so we had to search around and wait even longer to download some shareware program (Goldwave)
There was a time when Windows didn't have a TCP/IP stack so it couldn't connect to the Internet at all and you had to use a third party program like Trumpet Winsock.
