This doesn't exactly fit the thread, but I remember a sense of shock when I first heard U2 played on *classic rock* radio. I was all "Wha-?" It just didn't seem possible. LOL

Now I have the same feeling when I see young adults and learn that they were born in 2001. Or somebody says "Back in the 90s" like it was the Cenozoic Era...

Here's a undeleteable free album for your iTunes library.
(I didn't use Apple products at the time).

Wasn't the Cenozoic Era the time when iPhones didn't have flat icons?

It was a free album that Apple gave to every user upon its release. It was practically unremovable from your iTunes library and for people who didn't want it it became a pain.

It was basically a scam, but it involved ordering music via snail mail.

Projector? Tape player? Old thing?

Columbia house also stuck you with stuff you didn't want, so yeah.
