today's
laugh
Always remember, no matter how bad
prose may be, that it might be verse.
"Samson had the right idea about
advertising. He took two columns and brought down the
house."
"I’m a pauper."
"Congratulations. Boy or girl?"
"You slay me," said the
condemned man to the hangman.
"That’s noose to me," was the reply.
"Are you psychic?"
"Yes, seer."
A young lady while out walking heard,
for the first time, of her mother’s intention to
marry again, and she was obliged to sit right down and
cry about it. She could no go a step-farther.
To speed is but human: to get caught, a
fine.

Talkin'
Mornin',
I suppose it took more than
a little convincin' ta get folks ta give up
on the horse and buggy. More than anything it
was prob'ly the idea of bein' comfortable
with a known mode of gettin' from here to
there.
Automobiles aren't entirely
the blessin' that proponents of that industry
would have liked ever'one to believe, but
they did offer a lot of advantages.
The one thing that changed
the most was the amount a time folks spend
just walkin'. Nowadays, a visit to a neighbor
on the other side of the block warrants
takin' the car. A three or four block walk
would seem outa the question.
'Course one of the big
advantages of car ownin' is ya don't have ta
clean out the stall. Another is if ya leave
the car in the garage, you don't have ta keep
puttin' in fuel just so ya have somethin' ta
clean up later. And, the flies aren't near as
plentiful.
This is some fact, but
mostly,
Just Jake Talkin'.

Intro to the Internet
Where do all these service
come from?
Service like Web pages, FTP sites, News
groups, E-Mail, Ect., are all individual function
of these computer we call servers (or hosts).
Some servers don't have many features at all,
while other servers have all kinds of services
available.
Luckily for you and me, the
servers know who they are, and they know where
the other computers are as well. When you make a
request for a Web page, the servers work together
to help you find the server where that Web page
exists. If one computer is down between you and
the server you're asking for, the other computers
will help to find a path for your request to
travel on. Once the path is finally resolved, the
connection is made, and you see your Web page.
The same is true in regards to most of the
requests over the Internet.
In Review. . .
The Internet is a huge collection of
computers world wide. They are connected to each
other by a method that guarantees access
(provided that computer is operational and
connected to the network). There are servers
(also referred to as "hosts") that
provide services of all types. No one person or
group owns the Internet, yet there are many
committees and organizations that supervise its
development evolution.
