It was just so much simpler then. Aside from the viruses.
Even our viruses were simpler. If you just learned not to click on .exe files from Limewire, you basically had the perfect antivirus.
Back when I actually used Windows I never used an anti-virus and I never got a virus.
Reminds me of a time where you could download YouTube videos by finding the link to the .avi file in the HTML source code of the page. Kid version of me felt like such a hacker.
