Found this as a reply to a book review for SlashDot and thought
some might get a chuckle out of reading it.

"When I was your age, all we had was seven computers in the
whole world, five of them were in Nigeria, and they were
connected by old loops of string. Instead of packets, you had
to put a color coded ribbon on it and pull the string for 60
hours until the ribbon got to the other guy. Then he had to
manually enter the data into his computer via punchcards and
smoke signals, and we liked it that way!"
