    Do you remember when the first commercial transaction occurred on the "modern"* Internet? *I say, modern because I know someone will tell me the Internet has been around since 1940 or something. :laugh: http://www.nytimes.com/1994/08/12/business/attention-shoppers-internet-is-open.html[^]

      Really, the only thing that surprises me is that it wasn't pr0n related.
