"Too many connectios, try again later"!

I, too, suffer from this message. I hate connectios.

I know, I know. Most of you believe connectios to be cereal. But connectios are far worse than that. Greasy little bits of data with heavily waxed moustachios, connectios lurk in the dark corners of the internet waiting to leap out and interrupt your surfing with a dastardly "Mwa ha ha (or nyuk nyuk nyuk)". Beware them, friends. Beware.

It was 'proven' in the 1930s that the entire world would only need 5 computers...by IBM...;)

That wasn't proof, it was an opinion.

Learning to tell the difference would be a good start.

A troll from 1995? And the typo "connectios" is just sludge icing on the manure cake! :lol:

I tried CB radio in the '70s, but this is much better for me!
