File Sharing Programs

We came accross file sharing programmes such as limewire,emule which were free to download.Using which we could share our files with the other members and vice versa.It turned out to be a major source of softwares,music,movies,games etc.
There is one funny experience that you won't believe.There were two versions of limewire. A basic version which was free and other one was Pro version available for some dollars.Using Basic we downloaded Pro version,installed and got It registered successfully....lol
Then we shifted to an advanced application of peer to peer file sharing programme called Bit-torrent.It was much faster.It has become quite famous nowdays.Almost everybody using It.

Software pitracy

Yes we did It.Almost all the software companies offer you a free trial version of a software which we can install and use it for some periode say 15-30 days max.Then you have an option to buy It by making payment online or else It would get expire.we found some websites where we could get keygens (Keygeneraters) for the particular software appliation through which we could generate the registration key,enter It into the registration section of a trial software and get It registered for a life time..did u get It?registered for lifetime.hehehehe.....It worked ....We got many softwares which I could never have afford to buy.

My first Lappy (Dell Inspiron5300)

We bought dell inspiron 5300 in the year 2003-04.I really had no idea about the actual use of computer's.We used It for writing CD's,watching movies,listening to music etc..It was a latest one with windows XP home basic (O.S.).512 MB Ram,40 GB harddisk. It was in the year 2006 I was gifted a set of MS office CD's by my N.R.I.uncle.I really enjoyed learning MS word,excel,Powerpoint,outlook and other applications.He insisted me to have an internet connection and gifted me a webcam as a new year gift.
Right on the first day when I had an Internet connection I faced a virus problem.I had to take It to my hardware engineer at around 12.30 at night.He couldn't remove the trojen and he had to format the C drive of hard disk and reinstall the windows.You wont believe that we were doing It till 4.30 am.Again he installed all the basic softwares like MS Office,Power DVD along with the antivirus software (Mecafe).Of course It was a pirated version hehehe.....


My first exposure to computers..

I was 16 when I saw a computer for a first time.Sort of funny experience.I never knew what exactly do we get in cybercafes.I thought It must be a coffee shop or something like that.Then on one fine day one of my friend took me into the cybercafe and I was shocked to see those computers arranged one after another.For a moment I felt like being on the other side of the world.lol....I found It extremely difficult to operate.I couldn't even turn It off properly.It was windows 98 operating system.

I started visiting the cybercafe whenever I had a free time.I learnt sending emails,visiting websites,chatting etc.It turned out to be an addiction later on.I used to get Rs.50 per day which I would spend in there.It became a routine and within a year we bought a dell laptop (Inspiron 5300)....
