You might want to contact Al Gore and see if he has some of the original 
internet data bits lying around.

Oh, their just lying around along the road ... I just
scoop them up as I ride my bike.

Some of 'em are collectors item ... I actually have a 
data bit from an Eniac.

I almost bought a word of them from eBay, as they were
supposed to have been used by Grace Hopper ... but it
turned out to be a fraud... they were used by Bill 
Gates, who has no special meaning to COMPUTERS.

My mother has my the data bits from my very first
program bronzed and in her china cabinet.  She's so
sentimental.

You want to be careful when storing your data bits
though ...  they tend to go stale if kept near Windows.

If anyone else wants to talk to me about my data bits 
(recycled or collectables) please contact me privately.

Thanks for your interest.
