    Cd bruner in the early 90s.

    I paid 600$ cash for a 4 speed cd burner.

    I made my money back in 6 weeks.

    Everything after that was pure profit.

      Haha dang dude. You were ball’n to afford a x4 CD burner back then.

      I made my money back in 6 weeks.

      I figured you were getting paid to make mix CDs from CD albums you had. As P2P Napster didn’t come out till 1999 and Limewire, 2000.

      CD burning was definitely something I wish I had done back in middle school. Ha

      How was your CD burning hustle? How much did you charge for a CD? I’m interested to know more.

        My brother had just started a computer collage course that required everyone to buy a 100$ cd.

        We provided them for 20.

        I burned ps1 games for 10$ a pop.

        Music cd’s were 20 just for the hassle of me getting all the songs. I think I was using… Ing it’s been so long.

        Text based. BBS feel. Chat rooms. Omg I’m. Embarrassed I can’t remember.

        Irc! Holy shit I wonder if that’s still around?
