Negativland’s U2 single was the first music I ever dl’ed from the Internet. It was 1993. I ftp’ed it from a server in NC, split it onto 14 floppy disks, rebuilt it at home on my FreeBSD machine, played it through my sound card and recorded it to tape.

Got my hands on a stack of MacFormat CDs from the 2000s to scan and upload to #internetarchive today. These are all discs that are missing from IA, or a few cases where there's a disc but no pictures. [1/2]
