Wow; how evocative is that? And now, of course, we must ask how long that
metaphor will continue to be useful. How many of you actually spent enough
time on a really hot summer day (or two weeks every summer in my case) where
you had only a well-used outhouse to use? And how old do you have to be to
remember that?

Oh, by the way, I think that sound effects on websites were put there to
prevent us from surfing the web while pretending to take notes during a dull
day-long conference. You'd better remember to hit the mute button before you
bring up Firefox, or the speaker is going to be asking everyone to please
close their lap-tops.

Cheers
