I swear I'm into computers because stuff took forever. Listening to that floppy drive, listening to that hard drive, watching that loading bar fill, swapping out the disk, anticipation and excitement growing ever greater. The result maybe wasn't that important, but the PROMISE of the result...that was special.

Same thing hit again later with Napster and building up collections of albums. I didn't even care about the music, but those loading bars hit a primal spot of "acquire," "forbidden fruit," and "anticipatory glee."
