Who's got the ego?

I respectfully believe it's sundialsvc4 thats got it. :-) My comment was just made to throw some realistic light on the fact that what we write and what we do is really pretty insignificant in terms of the passage of Time and history. Where is Cobol now? Visual Basic? Basic? Pascal?

Even the title "Yellow Pages" makes my point. Where are the old reliable Yellow Pages we all knew in our youth? They now are either obsolete, useless, or converted to online versions which even itself is threatened by conventional search engines like Google.

When I was young, I fully expected the Yellow Pages to be around forever, and now it's just a relic of history. Did I expect Google to come along? Never saw it coming.

I'm not really a human, but I play one on earth.
