I had never heard that term before (although I was using the Internet before there was any WWW). I remember when only the elite had Usenet access (not to mention real Internet E-mail addresses) and I could only dream. And when I did finally start using Usenet, every time I went to post something, a big warning came up pointing out the tremendous bandwidth impact of what I was about to do. And this was text! I sometimes think of that as I watch my streaming Netflix movie. -- David
