"Email? Is that anything like dialup?"
That's so... 20th century...
From an article on Forbes.com:
[Jonathan Schwartz - Sun CEO] described how he had recently asked a fresh-faced new hire at Sun what he thought of the company.
"Well, it's kind of an old-fashioned company," the 20-something conceded.
"Old-fashioned?" fumed Schwartz. "In what way?"
"You use e-mail," replied the younger man.
"What's wrong with that?" demanded Schwartz.
"My parents send me e-mail," he answered.
So uncool, so 1990s.

I must be old. If email is "so five minutes ago", then how does this young whipper snapper communicate? Telepathically? Or perhaps he means, "My BFF & I are so OI".

As if to demonstrate the oldness of this blogger, I had to ask what "OI" meant... no, I'm not going to tell you, you'll have to find out for yourself.

I'm going to assume Old Information. But what the hell is BFF? Oh nevermind. I'll just crawl off and read a book ... with pages ... made of paper. Then I'll do my banking ... by check ... and USPS mail.

I don't recall ever being called conservative b4. Certainly no one that calls me that will ever get 2b my BFF (now that I know what it means).
