"I'm waiting for people who get sucked into this whole net-mania thing to start naming their kids "Dot" and "Com"."

Reminds me of the New Yorker cartoon I have posted in my office:

Picture a man standing, smoking a pipe, and his wife sitting in a chair with a book on her lap, speaking to him: "To access me, you can simply say, 'Agnes.' It is not necessary to add '.com.'"

Another, the usual cocktail party scene, two men talking: "Somehow I never would have figured you for a .net. A .edu, perhaps, but not a .net."
