"A Movie Delivered Daily?" Holy Cow Batman!


Why have people this out of touch and this ignorant of how the internet really works been entrusted to make decisions about it?

A friend nailed it in an earlier email, "He sounds like an old man in the park who yells at pigeons."

Yeah, an old guy who forgot to bring the seeds, no less.

“These people who use the Internet to receive movies to avoid paying delivery charges...” And, “Messages in tubes!”

Makes me wonder whether this senator has ever seen a computer that has an Internet connection?

I just the other day got, an internet was sent by my staff at 10 o'clock in the morning on Friday and I just got it yesterday. Why?

Because it got tangled up with all these things going on the internet commercially.

I heard you're an expert on Internet issues, so I thought I'd come to you with my problem.

Yesterday my housekeeper brought me an internet from my niece, who uses a phone to send internets. After I read her note I figured I'd better reply, so I put a garden hose in my old Royal typewriter (the one with the fancy colored reel) and started typing.

Well, the hose was getting in the way of the metal hammer things, so I took it out until I was done typing. After that I couldn't figure out how to send the message, because when I turned on the hose, water came out and got all over the rug in my den.

Finally I figured out that it would work better if I flushed my letter down the toilet, because that way it'd go out of the house and it has bigger pipes, in case it needs them. I also threw in some packets of crackers, because I heard the Internet works with packets.

Anyways, it's been a couple weeks now, and no word from the niece. Should I send my message again? I'll have to type it over, but that's okay because I took a photo of it, so I could keep it in a folder on my desktop. I have a Polaroid!

By the way, does it help to have windows? I can open one, but I'm not sure how to make the message go any farther. Should I fold it?

Thanks,
A Fellow Octo-80's Guy
