Sometime around 1992, I was at a conference with booths from Compuserve and AOL and all the rest. I marched right up to the Compuserve lady, never having used the service, and I inquired "so when are you gonna get a clue and connect to the Internet?" Of course she answered with something rather clueless and diplomatic, but I got a thrill out of being right when all those walled-gardens hooked up to the walled garden to end all walled gardens.
