Yahoo is celebrating its 10th birthday and as a result, anyone with a Yahoo account can get a free scoop of Baskin Robbins ice cream today only. An interesting discussion ensued this morning when I was printing out the coupons and noting to Brent we'd be going for free ice cream tonight.

Brent: "So Yahoo is only 10 years old? I thought it was more like 20."
Jenny: "No, it's almost as old as you are." (Brent is nine years old.)
Brent: "Wow. So there was no Yahoo before I was born?"
Jenny: "That's right. Before you were born, there wasn't really an internet or the web or email. There was a very basic form for people in the military and at universities, but there were no web sites to visit and no web games to play."
Brent: "So Runescape didn't exist?"
Jenny: "Nope. You're older than Runescape."
Brent: "So computers were worthless ten years ago?"
