The statistic that blew me away the most was that the average registered user connected to Napster once every other day (this is of course now completely blownoutofthewater by Facebook, but for the year 2000 this was astounding).
Its captain knew the Iranian gunboats were approaching and could have blown them outofthewater in a moment from a distance but chose to not do so apparently in deference to UN and British government non-military action rules of engagement with Iran.
