God protect us from more, "IMMINENT DEMISE OF THE INTERNET", hogwash which 
goes around every few years.  Five years ago the ARPANET backbone was a 
T1 Line.  Now you can look for and find backbones running at 
155mbits/sec.  The system is not mature.  While this is the case we'll 
run in cycles of ADEQUATE==SLUGGISH==ADEQUATE==SLUGGISH.

"Youth is not entirely a time of life; it is a state of mind. Nobody grows
old by merely living a number of years; people grow old by deserting their
ideals. You are as young as your faith; as old as your doubt. As young as 
your self-confidence; as old as your fear.  As young as your hope; as old 
as your despair."
