No Spotify or iTunes. But there was Napster.

I had an apartment like that in grad school. 3T. My roommate and I looked all over the building for it. I think we actually finally went back to the student housing office and they said "oh, it's in the annex".
Turned out to be a really nice apt -- the whole top floor of the annex. 3 bedrooms, 2 baths, living room, dining room, a small library/den (TV room, with a 12" b&w TV I scarfed off my father), big kitchen, a pantry, and a (nonfunctional) fireplace.Three grad students in toto -- we were all three pretty seriously involved with partners
by that point in our lives, so we were rarely all there -- indeed, it was fairly rare, by year's end, for any of us to be there. We threw a couple of bitchen parties, though.

As an aside, we saw the Steep Canyon Rangers not once but twice in the high school auditorium in our little town (Harvard, MA) in (if memory serves) the late 1990s (or could've been early aughts) when they played for fundraisers for the Nashua River Watershed Association (a regional conservation group).
The cleanup of the Nashua (once one of the most polluted rivers in the US) after the demise of the paper-making industry in central MA was and still is a great example of nature healing itself with a little help (and $).

Now the Columbia River, the Pend Oreille and the Kootenay watersheds need to be cleaned up to stop mercury poisoning downstream. The Canadian side is very toxic with mercury from smelting and selenium from coal mining.As an aside, we saw the Steep Canyon Rangers not once but twice in the high school auditorium in our little town (Harvard, MA) in (if memory serves) the late 1990s (or could've been early aughts) when they played for fundraisers for the Nashua River Watershed Association (a regional conservation group).
