hahaha - even i remember scouting uunet groups or the irc for various valuable pieces of information - and it used to be a real revelation in those college days

but, what a long way we have come since then - and even i admit being addicted to google - though not completely dependent on it.

but you wont believe the amount of freshers we get nowadays who dont even know how to use google properly - it is one of the first things i ask them to pick up
