I love but really only tinker with sound. But my first webpages in the '90s had MIDI so I have fond memories of downloading file after file and creating catalogs of sci-fi and fantasy music for roleplaying stuff or webpages (sorry).
People who got into the internet after the mp3 revolution may not appreciate how awesome mods and MIDIs were, in a world where WAVs took forever to download over brittle 56K connections (and Realmedia never became mainstream in my country).
Edit: what I wanted to say that for me MIDI was Internet music, the markup language of sound and orchestra. Thank you!
One of my hobbies is loading some old MIDI file from the era into Logic Pro X and produce a finished track using all my synths. Results are surprising, some times I think "the guy who tracked this MIDI didn't know it could sound so well!"
