    In the 1990s all internet data was transported by snails using these things called AOL CD-ROM packets.

    With the TC-AOL-CD-ROM protocol, you had to keep on gluing a copy of the same CD to another snail every day and sending it off to the recipient, until you get one back confirming the reciept.
