Trying out new software was quite an adventure back in the day - we had just started using Windows 98, no internet meant that the primary source of new programs was CDs from magazines and such.

I remember one cause when we tried a program with a curious name - "CD Burner". We had no idea what this meant, and thought it was a program that DESTROYS discs :P

When internet came, we were also eager to try something called "Modem booster", cause we used a modem. It was so slow that downloading 1 (one) small MP3 took several hours. But it was still better than not having any connection at all (like most people did).

Of course, this was the era of IE. We knew about Netscape but never really wanted to try it out. IE ruled the day and it was secure enough for the time.
