A Draconian Request

I'm looking for a very old poster, circa 1980, of a dragon with a wizard's hat, sitting on a stool reading magic books by candle light. The title is "cramming", as in cramming for an exam. Does anyone here remember seeing that poster, and if so, do you know if it is still available?

1974 - First Use of term Internet by Vint Cerf and Bob Kahn in paper on Transmission Control Protocol.

TCP/IP = Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol.

6. You're just trying to make me feel old...

Which I am.

Sonny, when I was your age, we didn't even have sneaker net. We had barefoot net and we walked through two feet of snow without shoes to deliver e-mails.

:wow:

8. You lucky, lucky bastard!

In my days, Prometheus still had his liver; we didn't have fire yet!

We had to write messages in pictographs and give them to Pheidippides for delivery

That layabout hasn't come back from his last errand!
