I’m not doubting your claim, I’m just impressed by your commitment. I also had a huge amount of “funny pictures” and a dodgy Internet connection, but I didn’t have any friends, so I setup DDNS to host pictures that no one but I would ever see.
I leave you with this funny picture: xkcd.com/512/

Yeah, I used to just accumulate every meme I could at LANs back before people called them memes. I think at the time Id just upgraded to an 8 Gig hdd.
I had memes about Windows 95.

Nice! Not to one-up (or one down) you or anything, but my HDD was 6.4GB. Last time I tested that drive (which was admittedly a few years ago), it even still worked. It was a Quantum drive, a brand I’ve otherwise not heard of, but one which was apparently notable enough to to get its own Wikipedia page.
