Remember when converting a WAV to MP3 required summoning the digital gods with seventeen different programs, three system crashes, and a blood sacrifice to LimeWire? That chaotic mess of hardware isn't NASA mission control—it's just what it took to compress "My Chemical Romance" into something that could fit on your 128MB MP3 player. The best part? After 4 hours of work, the file would inevitably corrupt halfway through the song. But hey, at least you learned enough terminal commands to qualify as a junior sysadmin.
