Ah, I’ll just post the whole thing. It’s a classic.

Mike: You might wanna be careful, hi everybody, welcome to the Satellite of Love! You’re just in time to see ol’ Crow here log onto the Information Superhighway! Why don’t you tell us about your system there, Crow?
Crow: Oh, you know. It’s just a multimedia package, nothing special. A 90 mHz. Pentium with 32 megs of RAM and a quadruple speed NEC CD-ROM, Soundblaster 16 multi-CD sound card, I threw that in... And a Courier v.24 38 Kbaud modem.
Servo: And you think that’ll make you happy, huh?
Crow: Yeah! Accessing SLIP server... Entering my IP address... Okay... Crow@biteme.com... Hahaha... And... ENTER!
Servo: Huh? “Server timed out, try again”?
Crow: Oh. I can read, thank you! Must’ve typed the wrong parameters...
Mike: But soon, you will be merging onto the Information...
Crow: That’s right, Mike! I’ll be pulling out into the Information Superhighway... and... uh... traffic... well, uh...
Mike: Looks like it locked up, huh?
Servo: “Looking for UART at FX1050”? What does that mean?
Crow: I DON’T KNOW!!! I must’ve configured my com ports incorrectly. You know, I’ll just assign my modem to a different com port and get back into my SLIP server and... uh...
Servo: Woah!
Mike: Locked up tight!
Servo: “Looking for UART at FX1050.”
Crow: I CAN READ!!! Don’t you think I can read?!
Servo: Gee, sorry!
Crow: Alright! Okay... I’ll try this... “LET ME ON THE INFORMATION SUPERHIGHWAY YOU STUPID LITTLE...”
Servo: “Still looking for UART at FX1050.”
Crow: LET ME ON THE INFORMATION SUPER HIGHWAY!!! I WANT ON THE INFORMATION SUPERHIGHWAY!!!
Mike: We’ll be right back! Careful with that! Calm down! Calm down!
