Predicting the Internet’s catastrophic collapse
Almost all of the many predictions now being made about 1996 hinge on the Internet’s continuing exponential growth. But I predict the Internet, which only just recently got this section here in InfoWorld, will soon go spectacularly supernova and in 1996 catastrophically collapse. Here’s why there soon will be only World Wide Web ghost pages.

Well, thanks a lot Bob for creating such a reliable, fast networking solution. It’s just to bad you are a freakin moron who had no facts to justify your babbling on about ghost pages and the inability to do commerce online efficiently. Did I tell you guys I just started an e-commerce job? SCREW YOU BOB!
