There was a time it would’ve fit on a floppy
This is really nonsensical. It could fit on a piece of paper in font size 8 if you go back far enough and "stretch" the definition of Internet.
Not true. The first document on the internet was, in fact, 7 pages in 8pt font.
It was the New Purchase brochure from a Packard Bell 286 4MHz from Circuit City transcribed into .doc format.
Yeah, but if you wrote really small on a note card you could have used the entire internet on a test!
And were all 7 of those pages uploaded at the same time? Ha, gotchu now! (But for real, is .doc that old?)
According to wikipedia, "Microsoft has used the extension since 1983."
Ha! So not as old as me
Lol, no idea
First spam
