We're immigrants because we didn't grow up with it. I remember reading a
Sunday Newsday Magazine article about "hypertext" when I was a teenager --
I thought it sounded fantastic. It essentially described what we'd all be
doing 30 years later when we get sucked into a Wikipedia wander. (Africa ->
lions -> tigers -> cats -> housecats ->  domestic animals -> history of
animal domestication, all by clicking links).

And the Wi-Fi setup was actually easy peasy. Just plug in a couple of
cables, change a couple of settings and reboot.
