  OK, this one'll be for my kids (*cough*):

  Remember the old days when:

  * You could still buy computer operating systems?
  * There was no War On Terrorism, only a War On Drugs?
  * When Angel Dust was the worst hallucinogenic substance available?
  * When you could get onto an airliner with your Swiss Army Knife in your pocket?
  * When dissident speech against the US Government's Isreal/Palestine policy wasn't censored by all the major news sites as being 'unpatriotic'?
  * When Usenet still ran on dedicated servers, and wasn't owned by Google?
  * When Geocities didn't have bandwidth caps on their free sites?
  * When dot-coms gave away $100 free offers?
  * When you could draw up a business plan involving 'increasing the synergistic work-flow management efficiency between diverse corporate interests' and get a billion dollars of venture capital for it?
  * When Al-Quaeda prisoners weren't strapped into chairs for twenty hours on a trans-Atlantic flight with their heads hooded in black cloth bags, and weren't left there to piss themselves during the flight without food?
  * When you could ask your 7 year old daughter to open your mail for you without worrying about her getting Anthrax?
  * When AOLTimeWarnerMicrosoft didn't own the entire entertainment industry? (OK, that was over the top, but goodness grief...)
  * When the worst thing you could do in school was hire yourself out as an underaged male hooker?
  * When nobody did Citizen's Arrests if you talked too loudly in Arabic while wearing a turban in a large convenience store?
  * When you could still discuss specific details about terrorism on a website's forum and not have the FBI visit your home the next day?
  * When you could still REMOVE Internet Explorer from Windows and expect it to function properly?
  * When governments didn't use the same planes in the same country to both bomb and drop food packets?
  * When fighters were still flown by pilots?
  * When Congress actually debated bills that would severaly limit freedom of speech and infringe several other Amended rights?
