Both of you know I edited that in, right? He linked to some malware site in his profile.

Quick, to the Internet archive!

Material does not become available until six months after the Archive collects it.

So, no "quickly", no.

That would be impressive, if only there weren't 1TB hard drives already.

Well, it's still 24 PB. And I first stumbled upon that .gif at least 5 years ago, when it was a lot more funny indeed.

This just raises the question of who uploaded the internet... The Illuminati? Druids? Scienticians?

I did. And yes, it took a while, thank you very much.

When I was a kid, I learned everything I knew about computers from collection of PC magazines from 1995. Around my dad, I was just dropping names like Autobahn and Eudora and the Information Superhighway and he looked at me like I was clinically retarded.

And look at where we are now. Even phrases like "cybersurfing" and "the world wide web" are starting to seem dated and tacky.

I remember feeling sick the first time (around 1997) I heard 'surfing the web'. And I learned everything about PCs from reading Computer Shopper magazine in the early '90s - It was awesome to be a 10-year old kid, picking up this huge magazine full of technobabble that slowly made more sense with each issue.

That's nothing. Sam Jeffreys once came over to my house when I had cancer, and cured me with his all-healing eye-beams. He also regularly rescues orphans stuck on trees, and gives millions of dollars to charities all over the world, every two hours.

I can't help it. It all made sense one day when I thought "Fighting and keep moving!" It's my motto. And THE END
