My ISP was down for about 8 hours yesterday (Comcast). It felt like my right arm was cut offf. I started into the PC world around 1991. Before then I thought computers were like Television sets, and I never dreamed that I would someday be so dependent on one. I wonder what lies 15 years ahead of us now? Buy stock in it if you can guess. It's amazing how things have changed. This brings me to a funny story.......
When I owned my business, (1998-2003), we would sometimes play Half Life during lunch time - (sometimes long lunches too). We would get very loud. screaming and cursing with excitement. We were in an office next to the City Parking Authority, so they could hear us clearly - and LOUDLY!!!
One day the guy in the parking office asked us what our line of work was. My business partner said to him \"Have you ever heard of the Internet?\". The guys responded \"Yes.\". He replied - \"That's us\". He believed it too. It still makes me piss when I think of that. We are the Internet.... Ignorance is bliss...
