[kj] Is here any Bret Dawson? :D

[Brendan Quinn]

You mean the entire world wide web.? The Internet came into being in about
68 / 69, invented by the US military, then universities got in on the act,
then us plebs, then finally The Man, which was a shame. The web was early
nineties. 

 

If you still have a copy of the Internet on a disc pls give me a copy, would
be quite keen on getting my hands on those US Military secrets.suspect they
might have changed some of the passwords by now, but this is the military
we're talking about, so maybe not ;-)

When I first started working in IT, you *could* buy the entire internet on a
cd.

 

You could probably fit the useful/interesting parts on one now.

Customer once asked me "can you put the Internet on a disc for me?"

 

I tried but the lightning had stopped coming out of my fingertips by this
point so no joy.

Too much 'Otherland' there Marc :)
Having said that, I once suggested to the ever radiant Mrs fatpotanga that
we email our nephew his birthday present instead of posting it.
I regularly think "Command Z" the short cut for 'undo' when I balls
something up.
