I'm sure some of you have seen this video before, but I found it kind of entertaining:

I picked up that "internet" vs. "the internet" too. Funny stuff.

There's another one...can't find it, but it goes off on some cool early 90s graphics and a "information super highway" tangent...also really funny...

Ryan: They really didn't like me.

Dwight: They did not. They didn't have to say it to your face.

Ryan: I don't get it. I don't get what I did wrong.

Dwight: Not everything's a lesson, Ryan. Sometimes you just fail. It's those online paper jerks. The whole business is changing. You know what? They're going to be screwed once this whole internet fad is over. What are you doing? [Ryan throws egg at building] Oh no no no no! Ryan! Yes! Ryan the temp! Come on! Courtesy of Dunder Mifflin. Come on! Drive.

Ryan: You drive.

I remember starting on the internet during the summer of '93 and using FTP sites to exchange data. You didn't even know what you were getting until you downloaded the file and used local software to open it.

I remember being the first kid on my block, and perhaps in my town to have a modem (my Dad worked for a company called Digital which has since been absorbed by Compaq, then HP, but still has a credit union named after it). We sent an "electronic mail" to the White House in the morning and got a response that afternoon. I can't remember if it was '91 or '92, but I imagine back then either Bush I or Clinton had some assistant spend 15 minutes a day to answer all their e-mails.


No pictures, text only, FTPs... simpler times. The good ole days.
