My first computer, we grabbed in 2001 or 2002 for $800 or so... 15 or 17 inch CRT, was an HP Pavillion, forgot the model number, but it had an 800Mhz Pentium 3 with 32MB of RAM, 20GB HDD, and Win98 SE. I miss that little machine.

Maybe not that model. But I can 'audio stream' using my JRC NRD-535D. There is a mode call Digital Radio Mondiale, which is a 10kHz-wide QAM signal that uses varying underlying audio protocols to stream high fidelity digital audio over shortwave.
For example: I'm able to livestream Kuwait on 15110kHz most mornings. That's not to say I actually understand what they're saying. It's just that conditions are such that I can properly receive and decode it.

Very cool!
