And why was it only after you realized your Golden Girls directory ballooned past 200GB?

The year was 2006, and the 80 GB HDD in my Dell Optiplex 790 was full of podcasts, stolen music, and episodes of Dr. Who…

Why did you download podcasts?

Sure, but you did you download them, listen to them and then delete them, or did you keep them around for archival purposes? Because it's rather untypical to re-listen to a podcast episode many times, which you might do with music.

Yeah it was 2006 and that was how you got the MP3 files onto your iPod Nano. This was back when “mobile internet” consisted of “m.website.com” links that loaded a page without a style sheet at dial-up speeds that was designed to be navigated with a D-pad.
