Nothing wrong with old technology. I recentñly found myself playing with some
BSD source code from a modern OS and found that many of its files had
copyrights dating back to the 80s or earlier. Old algorythms that you can still
use 30 or 40 years after they were created... such longevity is a testament to
their quality.

With the Internet I think the infrastructure is mostly fine. It is what we
build on top of such infrastructure that sucks.
