    Nice... how things have changed. What struck me most was the comment about everyone being really polite to eachother. Of course, now that everyone can use the internet, that's soon died away.

    What year is that from?

    yeah, when was this thing made?

    if u really were asking though, personman, "the internet" is like a cluster of hundreds, thousands-millions and billions of computers all connected. you can put information and data on one or more computers, conect them together and then turn them into a server and hook them up to the rest of the servers around the world, and bam, you're part of it.

    Down with the esquires.

    I think he knows...

    I wonder when it stopped being refered to as "internet" and became "the internet". The reporter didn't quite seem to know how to name it. Hehe, I wish I had been old enough to see it develop. My dad was telling me the other day about the very first bulletin boards....
