I remember installing a text only browser to visit a 'website' at CERN on this new thing the 'world wide web'. I browsed their website for like 30 seconds, and deleted the browser. That will never amount to anything. I was sure of it.
My children delight in this story. Though they don't really believe the text-only part. That's got to be a fabrication on my part.
