My friend Bob (no, not that Bob, the other Bob) sent me an e-mail the other day with a list of cleverly updated aphorisms for the 21st century. I thought they were share-worthy, and so ...
- Home is where you hang your @.
- The e-mail of the species is deadlier than the mail (with apologies to Rudyard Kipling).
- A journey of a thousand sites begins with a single click.
- You can't teach a new mouse old clicks.
- Great groups from little icons grow.
- Speak softly and carry a cellular phone.
- C:\ is the root of all directories.
- Don't put all your hypes in one home page.
- Pentium wise; pen and paper foolish.
- The modem is the message.
- Too many clicks spoil the browse.
- The geek shall inherit the earth.
- A chat has nine lives.
- Don't byte off more than you can view.
- Fax is stranger than fiction.
- What boots up must come down (or just crash).
- Windows will never cease.
- In Gates we trust.
- Virtual reality is its own reward.
- Modulation in all things.
- A user and his leisure time are soon parted.
- There's no place like ( http://www.)home(.com)/
- Know what to expect before you connect.
- Oh, what a tangled website we weave when first we practice.
- Speed thrills.
- Give a man (or for that matter, anyone) a fish and you feed him for a day; teach him to use The Net and he won't bother you for weeks.
And, of course, the obligatory cartoon ...
Any other suggestions, anyone? Leave a comment.

These are very useful updates to those old sayings.
UNIX we stand; divided we fall.
There's toomuch emphasis on saving Facebook nowadays.
These were awesome!
The user and his leisure time is way too true.
Teach a guy to fish, and he'll feed himself for a lifetime; teach a guy to browse the internet and he'll spend too much time on games and porn.
Tee hee!
