Seen in a /etc/motd well over 2 decades ago: /dev/earth is 98% full. Please delete anybody you can. (OK, a tad drastic, I admit. ;) "When Sir Tim Berners-Lee, the British scientist, wrote the code that transformed a private computer network into the world wide web in 1989, the internet appeared to be a limitless resource." WTF? I remember cursing the congestion on our T-1 link to Suranet in 1989 a lot more often than I curse our 10G link today. Was *anybody* seeing bandwidth as limitless in 1989? ;)
