Hello - a message here from July 2010.... this is an HTML page from 1994.  I've declined to add it to my current website, but I keep them here because I get a lot of google hits...  I suppose I should incorporate adwords or something, but I am just happy people are still interested in ancient computer jokes.

These links are still clickable, but links inside these articles are most likely dead, and have been dead well over a decade.  But if you're a computer geek like myself, please enjoy these old usenet posts, and ancient computer jokes.... 

I created this HTML page over 12 year ago (as of this date) but am flattered that it still gets visitors, so I will keep it up forever. 

the message from 2010 ends...... and back to it:
