the internet has come a long ass way

[ytcracker]

now im not an old man but thankfully my pops was a rocket scientist at martin marrietta(now lockheed martin) so i got internet and the like when i was little.

i still have this book called the "internet yellow pages" - this book is about as thick as cat in the hat with various gopher sites and MUDs and newsgroups.

i cant believe that at one time pretty much everything you needed on the net was in this little thing.

there wasnt internet explorer - i used trumpet winsock and ncsa mosaic.

now im looking at pussycash flash and this page and im like wtf we are the internets bitch

weve come a long way baby
