Napster
News

Created by 19-year-old Shawn Fanning in 1999, Napster is an application that gives individuals access to one another's MP3 files (compressed music recordings) by creating a unique file-sharing system via the Internet. 

Napster lets users view and download the contents of MP3 directories from other Napster users' hard drives. Type in the artist and/or song to receive a list, compiled by Napster's servers, of all the files currently available. Double click on a song to download from user's hard drive. 

Because Napster searches individual hard drives, the number and variety of MP3 files vary. Not all Napster users are online at the same time; therefore, what you may not find one day, may, in fact, be there the next.

It is expected that, within a few days, Napster will be forced to shut down while waiting for the courts to decide the copyright-infringement charges brought by the music recording industry.

ON THE LIGHTER SIDE...

       Two peanuts were walking in a tough neighborhood, and one of them was a-salted.

 

 

WEEKLY IN DEPTH...

Note: this computer info will remain here for the entire week.

 

Do you remember when...

A computer was something on TV,
From a science fiction show of note,
A window was something you hated to clean,
And ram was the cousin of a goat.

Meg was the name of my girlfriend,
And gig was a job for the nights,
Now they all mean different things,
And that really mega bytes.

An application was for employment,
A program was a TV show,
A cursor used profanity,
A keyboard was a piano.

Memory was something that you lost with age,
A CD was a bank account,
And if you had a 3-in. Floppy,
You hoped nobody found out.

Compress was something you did to the garbage,
Not something you did to a file,
And if you unzipped anything in public,
You'd be in jail for quite a while.

Log on was adding wood to the fire,
Hard drive was a long trip on the road,
A mouse pad was where a mouse lived
And a backup happened to your commode.

Cut you did with a pocket knife,
Paste you did with glue,
A web was a spider's home,
And a virus was the flu.

For me, I'll stick to my pad and paper,
And the memory in my head,
Although nobody's been killed in a computer crash,
When it happens you'll wish you were dead.
