Yeah? Dude got some corrupt skins for the Winamp program back in the day that didn't work and poked into the files to see what was in there.

Makes me wanna check out WACUP, but last time I tried a skin with it that I at least remember working back in the day, it didn't work.

Idk maybe it's because I'm not American so we didn't have the latest tech at all times, but I'm in my mid-20s and my first OS was Windows 2000 (no I don't mean ME). I remember my dad teaching me how to rip CDs with Alcohol 120% when I was 5 or so lol.
