A CD of “funny pictures”? Even with ancient tech, that must have been a crazy number of pictures, funny or otherwise.
I’m not doubting your claim, I’m just impressed by your commitment. I also had a huge amount of “funny pictures” and a dodgy Internet connection, but I didn’t have any friends, so I setup DDNS to host pictures that no one but I would ever see.
edit: I forgot, before I used DDNS, I put many of my pictures on an Angelfire account used by my friend’s StarCraft clan. At the time I didn’t realize Angelfire was free, at least at that tier, and was unable to convince my parents to pay for one. Even with our piddly 28.8 connection, it was worth it. This was, I think, the last image I uploaded there (sorry about the reddit link):
edit 2: At least for me, the reddit link didn’t work. Here’s another version of the same picture:
Nice! Not to one-up (or one down) you or anything, but my HDD was 6.4GB. Last time I tested that drive (which was admittedly a few years ago), it even still worked. It was a Quantum drive, a brand I’ve otherwise not heard of, but one which was apparently notable enough to to get its own Wikipedia page.

Yeah, I used to just accumulate every meme I could at LANs back before people called them memes. I think at the time Id just upgraded to an 8 Gig hdd.
I had memes about Windows 95.
Back when the word ‘macro’ was still a thing…

Apparently they were reliable.
