It is told that to the ancients, a "map" was a folded-up paper thing
depicting the roads one might use to get to one's destination, and
the routing algorithms were advanced-for-the-time neurochemical things
that ran directly in the user's brain, there being no CPUs or Internet
connectivity or cellular data yet.
And yet I found my way to meetings, back when this was called TLUG,
both ways uphill in the snow. But if you tell kids nowadays, they
won't believe a word of it.
