W3schools, how do I love thee?

Come on, it’s time for a trip down old school lane.  For each and every one of us, there was a time when we knew nothing what so ever about html.  There was a time when we didn’t know what an a tag was, a time when we thought that CSS was some sort of television station, and a time when we built our websites entirely out of tables.   Granted, for some of the programmers here, that time of naïvety was age FIVE, but nostalgia is nostalgia.  I just wanted to take two minutes at the end of a long day to give a nod to the place that started it all for many of us, w3schools.  http://www.w3schools.com/ was the place to go if you wanted to learn html from the ground up, and served as the go-to “cheat sheet” for those who needed a reference manual on the fly.  But for me, it is all about the comic link under the line, “Where do i go to download the internet?” this is where the “click here to download the internet” link took you:

You have to wait for it, but I giggle at the reference to drive A: every time.  Good times.
