Wow!  Really?

I mean, that's just so weird!

So, before 1991 when I was using the Internet, what was that then?  Because if
the Internet didn't exist prior to 1991, then I was either dreaming, insane,
using something else that I mistakenly thought was the Internet, or you are
just plain stupid.

But which one of those is it?  Argh!  I just can't figure it out!
