Still back in the 90’s, when I started to use the Internet, I met an old classmate online. In school he was indeed wiser than me. I was sure glad to meet him and I hoped he would share some pointers and experiences with me. I asked him if he would recommend me good online programs such as mailer, newsreader…etc.
He didn’t answer my question. In return, he gave me a riddle…
Go to the field,
Open up your eyes.
Count the cows,
The more the better.
Can you solve the riddle?
He actually told me to go to www.tucows.com to download freewares there. Those freewares were rated by the number of cows. Yes, cows! The best rating had 5 cows.
It took me some time to figure out. I do not fancy his riddle. I think he was trying to make me a clown, thinking that he was always wiser than me. Well, I never email him anymore and that was the last email I got from him.
