[slug-chat] Peer-to-peer idea is not new

                    Napster was the first so-called "killer application"
to take advantage of a
                    networking structure known as peer-to-peer, which
enables computers to both
                    receive and serve files. 

                    The idea of peer-to-peer is as old as the Internet
itself, but desktop PCs were
                    almost never used to distribute data until the dawn
of Napster.
