At the time there were websites where you answered surveys for a chance to win an iPod. Questions like Burger King or McDonalds? Etc. They paid $0.50 for each user that started a survey and $2.00 for each completed survey.

The only buddy I want to remember was Bonzi :)

Also, PS1 mod chips and copied games / VCDs were good for selling in school for a couple bucks.

Oh jeez. Installing PS1 mod chips for friends and coworkers is what leveled-up my soldering skill.

I never accepted money for it, initially did one just for the challenge. Then when word got around work, I had a bunch of well-placed people who owed me favors. Good times, good times.

Even though I no longer want or need this memory, I will never be able to forget the sound of Bonzi singing Daisy Daisy.

Probably ads on the site no? Only way I can think where views translate to money.
