reminds me of one mailing list I was on back in the early days of the WWW. There was a new guy, who said he didn't need an ISP because he had paid somebody $700 for two cds that contained the whole internet. he argued for days about how it was the best money he ever spent and that it actually was possible because it was very efficiently compressed. man was he pissed when he finally realiized he got taken.

You sure it's not a european swallow? ;)

and for updates they stick floppy disks on to carrier pigeons

I thought it was USB drives, but I could be wrong. ;)


thats only certain high tech islands...the old ones still have two cans connected to a really long string
