I dont want to get off topic or sound paranoid. But the internet contains just a small sliver of human knowledge. Yet modern generations grew up online and think that the web is pretty much the only viable source for research. In short, if its not online it probably did not exist. Or if its not online, it can not be proven. And digital information is way to easy to manipulate.

This became most evident to me with Mac history. Has anyone tried to get conclusive information on the Mac clones? Its not easy! In fact other than basic specs, there is not much beyond that. And as sites vanish, more information is lost. I bought a 4400 clone mobo thinking it was some sorta of prototype. Turns out it was not, but only two Japanese sites has pics of this particular clone board.

And there is a screensaver I have been looking for over the years. Its called Chaos (I think that is the name). It was a random generating pixel/dot thing. I would use the word fractal, but that would be wrong. Anyway, as it drew is generated some pretty cool abstract images. I used to do screen shots like a ninja to capture the interesting ones for desktop pictures. Sadly I can not find this screen saver anywhere. As of right now, its like it never existed.
