True story: In 1998 when I first got the internet I was a total n00b. I thought I could only do things from within the AOL program. I’d tell people “I’d love to look at that site, but it doesn’t work on AOL.” Finally, a coworker told me that I could sign on to AOL, then minimize it and use Internet Explorer. I was so happy! It didn’t take me long to switch to Netscape Navigator, though. I don’t really have a point. Sometimes I just like to remember times when I was a little dumber than I am now.
