How about the Internet Astro geeks, maybe they will plan births so the kids are born under the sign of the RAM?

"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."
