It was a beautiful story - and one that I wasn't familiar with. I do hope there are more such waiting to be revealed!
I'll never forget seeing that comic in The New Yorker in '93. A colleague of mine clipped it out and pasted it on the wall behind his desk.
Also in that year, the New York Times asked readers at the end of the year how many times the word "internet" had occurred in the newspaper during the year. I believe the answer was ~200.
