You think it'll fit?

What I just heard from a co-worker (NOT in my department):

"Hey, I need you to put the internet on my computer."

Woah. Well . . . it might be just a touch big to fit on your computer . . .

i dunno... with the new hard drives coming out... terabyte storage is possible.... but i think, only up to the year 95.

I'm reminded of an article in The Onion (http://www.theonion.com) along the lines of "Small Housewife In Dayton OH Accidentally Deletes The Internet".

I once had a user who thought he knew what he was doing and would poke around in command line mode poking around where he shouldn't. So I used a group policy to change his command prompt to "Bad command or file name".

I figure, by the time he figured that out, he might know enough to not mess himself up. Of course, I was being profoundly optimistic, but that's another story.

I think archive.org (www.archive.org) has multiple versions of the internet stored on their computers.

I strongly doubt they have it installed on a single laptop, but I could be wrong. That's why I didn't assume she was wrong . . . but mostly likely very misinformed.

For the record she (obviously) wanted me to hook her up. Her laptop has a (really neat) cat connection and an (equally neat) cell modem, but neither one of theose were a dial up modem, which is what she has at home.

Step one: call an isp.
Step two: tell them what's going on.
Step four: browse porn!

Had a manager a few years ago who insisted we "print our intranet because (he) didn't have time to sit and look at it". We suggested that might be a lot, but he **REALLY** insisted, so we did ... on his printer. All 584 pages of it.

He didn't ask again.
