I don't believe in that "internet thingee" Especially since The Goracle invented it.

I suppose there were holdouts for that new fangled electricity too.

I don't have the internets and I never use it. period.

"A little under one-third of U.S. households have no Internet access and do not plan to get it"

So? WITHGAS.

OTOH, Many Americans do not have, nor want health insurance.

When I was a kid, it was a trip to the library to find a book. My kids sit at a computer at home and complain about the number of hits Google returns. 500 years from now they'll talk about the printing press, the PC and the Internet in the same breath.
