Thanks for the Inspiration: A Tribute to the Internet

In summary, the conversation discusses the role of the internet and its inventor, Al Gore. The internet was not invented on PF, but rather by Al Gore. However, one person claims to have been using the internet before Gore was born. Another person brings up the concept of trading Taking Credits on the internet. Ultimately, it is agreed that Al Gore played a significant role in the development of the information superhighway.

Zoob, you lying bastard! I was on the internet before Gore was born. Of course, we soon gave up the coconut fibre infrastructure as more of a local display phenomenon and focused upon a user interface that works as opposed to one that immediately solves your problems with the promise of introducing more. (Cue the squeegie kids... :rolleyes:)
