And then, because my dad's PC was the only one hooked up to the phone line, I had to pack the zip file onto a bunch of 3.5" discs to copy it. "Now please insert disc 3 of 17..." I used to do the same thing, except I used a file-splitting utility to break up the setup into floppy-sized pieces on my sister's computer (she had the internet connection), then reassemble them on my computer. Also, I tended to get kicked off the computer halfway through a download, so I ended up waiting until my computer classes in college to do any major downloading.
