        Me circa 1993: This world-wide web thing is interesting, but it will never replace Gopher.

          Me too! I remember mansplaining to my girlfriend at the time how long it would take to visit a page and download images, and how nobody would wait that long to see pictures of cats. I underestimated how much people really want to see cat photos.
