This joke is really much older, if it is almost the year 2007 I remember I saw pictures on my Amiga in 1996 (Not photos, but pictures, funny pictures) where a guy wants to download the Internet to a floppy disk The Amiga fans just painted such pictures to laugh from Windows 95 and their users and stuff like that, so the joke is minimum as 10 years old.

I have known about this for about 7 years. I discovered it when I was in grade 1 and now I am in Grade 8.I visit the W3Schools site regularly to study my XML and similar skills. I have saw that thing many times this year.Anyways, Google does not download the Internet. It indexes it.Downloading means to transfer information from cyberspace to your computer. Google isn't downloading then.

What about the Cached version of the webpages that google indexes? Isn't that downloading?

Well it's quite different to download html files and to download full online servers.
It is downloading, but not "downloading the internet" as stated in the joke.

And damn, I've never seen that joke before... And I'm quite of a computer rat.

But unless it was somehow updated recently it wouldn't make much sense in download @ 41kbps 7 years ago. And if it was actually updated, it won't fool many people with that windows 95 appearence.

Way too bring up very old stuff :)Wasn't that funny anyways though. As lame as the "omg you're getting a virus" .gif 's.It's as if some stranger speaking spanish is sending you britney_spears_naked.jpg___________.exe

Google Cache=An alternate copy of the web.The archive.org also caches tons of information for seeing it later.I have found many good resources via it.But it is slow sometimes, almost all search engines cache the pages(Google,Yahoo!,Gigablast,MSN/Live ?? etc..etc).So there is an alternate copy.

Lol, ive never seen it before. I think im goin gto impove it and run it as a joke on one of my teachers. They'll freak out if they see a realy live looking windows download window that opens up when windows boots and it says 4000 years to go.

my computer science teacher, who is the tech specialist used to put this on teachers laptops so they would think that its getting messed up. Its a great way to protect your job by "fixing" the computers..
