"Our attitude with TCP/IP is, `Hey, we'll do it, but don't make a big system, because we can't fix it if it breaks -- nobody can.'" "TCP/IP is OK if you've got a little informal club, and it doesn't make any difference if it takes a while to fix it." -- Ken Olson, in Digital News, 1988 | |

We're protected by federal law, just like Richard Nixon." -- Dave Barry, "Tenting Grandpa Bob" | |

Fascinating, a totally parochial attitude. -- Spock, "Metamorphosis", stardate 3219.8 | |
