I use to watch old old Japansese version Dragonball Z episodes on computer in ram format, but iam not sure how old that is. I even remember this format of video called vivo or something like it.

But when i started downloading hardcorely was about 2-3 years ago, using the old p2ps that were around at the time.

I've been a sucker for alot of years prior to finding fansubs, by buying the old vhs tapes. ( over 150 before i stopped buying that format)
