I like tasteful cigars, private property, American whiskey, fast cars, hot women, pre-bailout Jeeps, fine dining, worthwhile literature, low taxes, original music, personal privacy and self-defense rights -- but not necessarily in this order.
Al Gore worked so hard to bring us the Internet and yet no mention of him in the broadcast?! Those Canadian journalists ought to be ashamed, they ought to.
“Al Gore worked so hard to bring us the Internet and yet no mention of him in the broadcast?!”

“not a lot of cursing or swearing or personal cuts”…..what internet was he using?
He was using the pre-AOL Internet.
I bet the reporter in that story is from the same part of Canada that Peter Jennings is from…they sound the same.

“The electronic scream” – To describe the analog modem’s connection noise. :)

From the CBC Prime Times News broadcast on Oct. 8, 1993
