You startle awake. It is 1969, you are a grant writer for ARPANET, and you have come to the inescapable conclusion that Al Gore must die before his Internet can infect the human mind.

i remember when the computer still demanded blood. my dad's Tandy took a mere pinprick from your finger, which was a revolutionary advancement from the bulky machines of the 80's that required a thimbleful to access usenet for a day. that itself was an improvement on the pint needed to join ARPANET
