One of my desktop icons caught my eye just now. I haven't noticed it for some time, probably because it's green against the green grass on the XP wallpaper ... lol
Anyway, it's Piolet - a P2P app intended solely for music. I had completely forgotten that I installed it. oops. Anyway, its network is probably not as big as those of the P2P giants but it's good enough. I can find almost everything I search for, and download speeds are good over broadband. No malware, adware, spyware ... it's bannerware, which I can live with. So having rediscovered this gem on my system, I went ahead to download some songs ... heehee
To see if you belong to my generation (okay, even if you do, see if you belong to my 'pattern'), see if you can answer these questions!
1. Who sang 'Come Undone'?
2. Who sang 'Ordinary World'?
3. Who sang 'Wind Beneath My Wings'?
4. Who sang 'From A Distance'?
5. 'The Crying Game' by Boy George was from the soundtrack of which movie?
6. 'The Power of Love' by Huey Lewis and the News was from the soundtrack of which movie?
Answers:
1/2. Duran Duran
3/4. Bette Midler
5. The Crying Game (hmm, oops, I was previously under the impression that it was Indecent Proposal)
6. Back to the Future
6 pts. Congrats! You are truly a child of the 80's. But I really have no idea how you knew the answer to Qn. 4. Amazing. I bet your parents have an old vinyl turntable too.
4-5 pts. You are very much a child of the 80's too. You might remember Timmy Thomas with his 'Dying Inside to Hold You' too. You listened to Perfect 10 in primary school, only to later switch to Class 95 where all your favourite songs have migrated.
1-3 pts. Your favourite radio station is Y.E.S. 933. You've listened to that since primary school. Capital Radio 95.8 is for taxi-drivers, Love 97.2 is for aunties, all your favourite songs have disappeared into a blackhole, so you still have to share 933 with new generations of kids.
0 pt. You evidently are not even barely a child of the 80's, if you don't know who sang 'Ordinary World'. How's your preparation for the 'O's? =P
