I can't. He locked up his new computer trying to load Pong.

The Vic-20 wasn't designed for it.

The internet is the new Wild West of interconnected computer networks that use the standard protocol suite to serve billions of users worldwide. It's also the biggest distraction known to mankind.

The conventional world wide web network of interlinked hypertext documents accessed via the internet we're all familiar with today was invented and developed by the British, or more specifically, Tim Berners-Lee. Its rapid success was facilitated by him purposefully not copyrighting it.

So, apart from the jet engine and the aircraft carrier, that's another technological leap you've got us to thank for.

Anyone here who used to hang out on BBS's? Played LORD? Remember all the fanfare when some BBS's began to provide <GASP!> e-mail? Cached, and send/received once a day, every day.

Ahh, old times.
