In circa 2001 we were supposed to visit the website for channel 10, the broadcaster as part of an assignment. I can’t actually remember what the assignment was that involved going to this commercial broadcaster’s website but I think it was supposed to help learn internet research skills. They took us all up to the library so we could use their computers.

This took place in Australia. Everyone assumed the website was www.ten.com, but at the time it was www.ten.com.au. Also at that time, www.ten.com was a porn site. Godamn that was funny. Cracked me up hearing the librarians hurriedly telling everyone in the rows of computers not to visit that site so of course the few people who typed the correct site to begin with or found it through Google immediately went to www.ten.com to check it out because now if anyone saw them they could just claim to have gotten there via the same honest mistake as everyone else.

Oh I forgot about those switches. I think that means I probably don’t really miss them, I mean, it’s not like putting something on it necessarily deletes what’s on there and it’s kind of hard to accidentally write to one.
