Sadly, no.

My favorite part of The Net, aside from the gigundo tech of yesteryear, was how they were attempting to pull off a clip of Wolfenstein 3D as some radical new game. That and referring to it as "The Net" is hilarious. It's like the web is a puslating gelatinous monster that eats your girlfriend.

I know I'm a friggin' cro-mag. I realize this. The last computer I built was a Pentium 100mhz. Do I see the cute little icons at the bottom of every post? Yes. Do I have any desire to click on any of them? No. The Facebook icon tells me pretty much all I need to know about their usefulness in my life. Granted, I would click del.icio.us if it dispensed breakfast cereal. Anyway, not using something doesn't necessarily make one unsavvy.

I mean, it's like asking some dude on the street if he's seen X porn site. Sure, he's seen porn. But that particular site? There are zillions.
